Growing Up with EoE: A Family’s Journey from Childhood to College

What’s it really like for a child to live with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE)? In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Jeni and her son Joshua, who share their family’s journey navigating the challenges of pediatric EoE. From the earliest warning signs to Joshua preparing for life at college, their story sheds light on the resilience it takes to manage this condition day-to-day.

Together, we explore:
- Why getting the right diagnosis can take time
- The pros and cons of today’s treatment options
- How parents can interpret symptoms when children struggle to describe them
- Tips for transitioning from pediatric to adult care

Whether you’re a parent, patient, or healthcare provider, you’ll walk away with insights, encouragement, and practical takeaways.
