Newly diagnosed?

Eo-what?

Can you write that name down for me?

What does this mean?

What happens if we don't treat it?

Will this ever go away?

What am I supposed to feed him now?


These are just a few of the questions heard most often from parents of children newly-diagnosed with Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE). I am guessing that, whether your child was diagnosed yesterday or last year, you can remember saying or thinking some of these! Though we can not offer anwers to all of these questions, our local Eos support group (CSRA Eos) can help. CSRA Eos was founded just for that very purpose - so that families living with EoE can reach out to and help each other, with the big questions and the smaller, but critical, day to day concerns (like how to find foods that fit the diet AND that your child will actually eat!). So, please don't wonder and question and worry alone - join us, in person or long-distance (via email, phone, or the web)!
