If you or your child experience pain while eating, you may start using certain strategies or eating habits to try and lessen that pain. But this could hide the fact that you or your child may have eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). EoE is a chronic allergic or immune condition that causes swelling in your esophagus (swallowing tube). About 1 in 2,000 people have EoE.¹

Watch the recording of our webinar titled, “Difficulty Eating? Speak Up, Don’t Adapt! It Could Be Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE).” Mirna Chehade, MD, MPH, and Founding Director of the Mount Sinai Center for Eosinophilic Disorders, joined a dietitian, a person with EoE, and a patient advocate for the one-hour long online event.
