Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE)
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an allergic inflammatory disease which occurs when large numbers of white blood cells, known as eosinophils, are found in the esophagus.
Did you know?
Those who suffer from eosinophilic esophagitis have an elevated number of eosinophils (causes inflammation and pain to esophagus)
EoE is referred to as a rare disease but it has increasingly become more common.
Many EoE patients also have other allergic diseases such as rhinitis, asthma, and/or eczema.
EoE is almost always a chronic and lifelong disease.

Symptoms
Vomiting and nausea
