About this listen
In this episode of The Gut Whisperer, Dr. Nelson Spinetti unpacks Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE)—a chronic, allergic inflammatory condition of the esophagus that often masquerades as reflux, anxiety, or feeding aversion.
Through the story of a young patient, we explore:
-
The key symptoms of EoE across different age groups
-
The role of food allergens and the immune system in triggering inflammation
-
The latest tools for diagnosis, including endoscopy and emerging tests like the esophageal sponge
-
How elimination diets, topical steroids, and esophageal dilation can help manage this complex condition
-
Long-term strategies for living well with EoE and avoiding complications
Whether you're a parent worried about mealtime struggles or a clinician treating GI complaints, this episode offers valuable insight into a condition that’s often misunderstood—but increasingly common.
