Ehlers Danlos Syndrome & Eosinophilic Esophagitis - Katherine Greenstein

Season 4, Episode 6: In conversation with Katherine “Katie” Greenstein (Tiktok: @chronically.katie & Instagram: @katherine.greenstein ).

Katie is a friend of the podcast and a guest on this episode. Katie is much more than that; they are a fearless advocate for themselves and others in the rare, chronically ill, and disabled communities.  Katie’s diagnostic odyssey has been arduous and inspiring. They received a diagnosis of Eosinophilic Esophagitis before turning 6, and later in adulthood, were diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Our conversation is fruitful and impactful as we discuss our mutual struggles to find the correct diagnosis and the long-standing issue of food options in mainstream restaurants and grocery stores.  This conversation is eye-opening, thought-provoking, and motivating. It is a call to action to understand the human struggle in everyday life, the harrowing truth behind the medical system in our nation, and our mutual experiences with our conditions. I have attached the brilliant resources Katie mentioned in our episode. We can all learn a lesson from them.
