What is Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE)?

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic immune system disease in which a type of white blood cell, called an eosinophil, builds up in the lining of the esophagus. This buildup can cause inflammation and damage to the esophagus, leading to difficulty swallowing and other symptoms. While the exact cause isn’t always clear, allergies, both food and environmental, often play a significant role.

Common symptoms of Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) include:

• Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
• Food getting stuck (impaction)
• Chest pain or discomfort
• Persistent heartburn or reflux that doesn’t improve with medication
• Vomiting (especially in children)
