What is New in Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) Research and Treatments?

We welcome back Dr. Evan Dellon from the University of North Carolina School of Medicine at Chapel Hill to discuss the latest advances in research and treatment options for Eosinophilic Esophagitis. In this episode we discuss several of the standout abstracts we found extremely encouraging for patients living with an EoE diagnosis that were presented at this year’s Digestive Disease Week (DDW), an annual scientific conference. This episode is brought to you by Sanofi Regeneron.

Thank you for this episode. I have EOE, but the closest gastroenterologist services are over 100 miles away so self care is critical. Our rural gp's wont address it aside from an option by local surgeon to stretch the esophagus. Helpfully, he spoke of the study on dairy. Eliminating it gives some relief, or at the least an allergic reaction decreased. Thanks to you tube sites like yours I can get a broader picture. My decades with providers in general is most are not curious to search out data or refer out. I wasted years explaining symptoms to no effect. Even online it took years to finally find a Univ of Washington State site that specialized in gastro. There I finally found a description of my symptoms of Jackhammer or Nutcracker esophagus cramping. So painful. I wish us well. Collaboration is a win.
