About EoE
Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory disease that is triggered by food or environmental allergies basis and it causes significant, painful swallowing difficulties, heartburn, and food impaction that often requires long-term treatment.
The incidence and prevalence of EoE are growing at rates that outpace increased disease recognition – and EoE patients have historically had to wait up to 10 years for an accurate diagnosis, causing them and their families to suffer physically, mentally, socially, and financially.
Affected health care settings include gastroenterology clinics, endoscopy suites, hospital emergency rooms, primary care clinics, pediatric clinics and allergist offices.
