Lori's son was diagnosed with Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) a year ago at the age of 13. Looking back, they contended with symptoms of it his entire life. Challenges with keeping food down as a baby, not wanting to eat as a toddler, and weight gain concerns were prevalent in his younger years. While the EoE diagnosis finally gave a name to their experiences, it was the beginning of their journey. Through a roller coaster of food eliminations, endoscopies, Neocate, and confusing allergy test results, they continue to navigate the world of EoE and the added complications it poses for a 14-year-old. Lori's devotion to her son and commitment to helping him find ways to take the lead in his care are inspiring!

It's overwhelming. The moment you realize you or your child can no longer eat certain foods and it seems like they are in just about everything. It's especially difficult when patients with Eosinophilic Esophagitis need to eliminate multiple foods all at the same time.
