Do you or a loved one have trouble swallowing food? Does food ever get stuck in your throat? Do you or a loved one take longer to eat than everyone else and/or drink with every bite to help get the food down? If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, then you or your loved one may have a condition called Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE).

Learn more about EoE in this episode, "Undiagnosed and Suffering in Silence," which is Part 1 of a 4-Part Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) Education Program targeting key areas of the patient journey from symptoms to diagnosis to treatment options to living and thriving with this serious health condition.
