Lori's son was diagnosed with Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) a year ago at the age of 13. Looking back, they contended with symptoms of it his entire life. Challenges with keeping food down as a baby, not wanting to eat as a toddler, and weight gain concerns were prevalent in his younger years. While the EoE diagnosis finally gave a name to their experiences, it was the beginning of their journey. Through a roller coaster of food eliminations, endoscopies, Neocate, and confusing allergy test results, they continue to navigate the world of EoE and the added complications it poses for a 14-year-old. Lori's devotion to her son and commitment to helping him find ways to take the lead in his care are inspiring!
