| eosinophilic esophagitis patient education: Finding a Path to Safety in Food Allergy National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, Health and Medicine Division, Food and Nutrition Board, Committee on Food Allergies: Global Burden, Causes, Treatment, Prevention, and Public Policy, 2017-05-27 Over the past 20 years, public concerns have grown in response to the apparent rising prevalence of food allergy and related atopic conditions, such as eczema. Although evidence on the true prevalence of food allergy is complicated by insufficient or inconsistent data and studies with variable methodologies, many health care experts who care for patients agree that a real increase in food allergy has occurred and that it is unlikely to be due simply to an increase in awareness and better tools for diagnosis. Many stakeholders are concerned about these increases, including the general public, policy makers, regulatory agencies, the food industry, scientists, clinicians, and especially families of children and young people suffering from food allergy. At the present time, however, despite a mounting body of data on the prevalence, health consequences, and associated costs of food allergy, this chronic disease has not garnered the level of societal attention that it warrants. Moreover, for patients and families at risk, recommendations and guidelines have not been clear about preventing exposure or the onset of reactions or for managing this disease. Finding a Path to Safety in Food Allergy examines critical issues related to food allergy, including the prevalence and severity of food allergy and its impact on affected individuals, families, and communities; and current understanding of food allergy as a disease, and in diagnostics, treatments, prevention, and public policy. This report seeks to: clarify the nature of the disease, its causes, and its current management; highlight gaps in knowledge; encourage the implementation of management tools at many levels and among many stakeholders; and delineate a roadmap to safety for those who have, or are at risk of developing, food allergy, as well as for others in society who are responsible for public health. |

| eosinophilic esophagitis patient education: The Longevity Plan John D. Day, Jane Ann Day, Matthew LaPlante, 2017-07-04 From a renowned Johns Hopkins- and Stanford-educated cardiologist at Intermountain Medical Center—a hospital system that President Obama has praised as an island of excellence—comes the story of his time living in Longevity Village in China, and the seven lessons he learned there that lead to a happy, healthy, long life At forty-four, acclaimed cardiologist John Day was overweight and suffered from insomnia, degenerative joint disease, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. On six medications and suffering constant aches, he needed to make a change. While lecturing in China, he’d heard about a remote mountainous region known as Longevity Village, a wellness Shangri-La free of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, dementia, depression, and insomnia, and where living past one hundred—in good health—is not uncommon. In the hope of understanding this incredible phenomenon, Day, a Mandarin speaker, decided to spend some time living in Longevity Village. He learned everything he could about this place and its people, and met its centenarians. His research revealed seven principles that work in tandem to create health, happiness, and longevity—rules he applied to his own life. Six months later, he’d lost thirty pounds, dropped one hundred points off his cholesterol and twenty-five points off his blood pressure, and was even cured of his acid reflux and insomnia. In 2014 he began a series of four-month support groups comprised of patients who worked together to apply the lessons of Longevity Village to their lives. Ninety-two percent of the participants were able to adhere to their plans and stay on pace to reach their health goals. Now Dr. Day shares his story and proven program to help you feel sharper, more motivated, productive, and pain-free. The Longevity Plan is not only a fascinating travelogue but also a practical, accessible, and groundbreaking guide to a better life. |

| eosinophilic esophagitis patient education: Diseases of the Esophagus Jörg Rüdiger Siewert, Arnulf H. Hölscher, 1987-12-04 The third triennial congress of the International Society for Diseases of the Esophagus (lSDE) was held in Munich in September 1986 under the presidency of J. Rudiger Siewert. The very well organized and epoch-making meeting was part of the International Esophageal Week and was held in conjunction with the International Conference of Esophageal Diseases, the European Study Group of Diseases of the Esophagus (GEEMO), and International Organization for Statistical Studies of Esophageal Diseases (OESO). I am very pleased that it has been possible to publish the proceedings of the congress so rapidly. The problems associated with diseases of the esophagus are multifaceted, varying considerably according to locality; their study thus neces sitates a large international forum, which is one of the founding aims of the ISDE. We hope that this volume, by virtue of the in-depth and up-dated reports it contains, can playa role in advancing the work being done in this field. Finally I should like to express my heartfelt appreciation to Professor Siewert and Dr. Holscher for their contribution toward the success of the congress. Kiyoshi Inokuchi, M.D., F.A.C.S. President of the ISDE Preface The scientific knowledge about esophageal diseases and their treatment has rapidly developed and increased within the last 10 years.

| eosinophilic esophagitis patient education: Eating Isn't Always Easy Nancy S. Rotter, Ph.d., Qian Yuan, 2012-05-01 Ben has been having a hard time. Ever since he can remember, his two sisters and his parents eat whatever they want, whenever they want, and they seem to be fine. But not Ben. When he eats, he often has stomach aches, experiences gagging, and worse yet, he vomits. It seems to him that eating is not a very fun thing at all. Then he is diagnosed with a condition that is hard to pronounce, but the doctor says it's good that they know what it is so that she can help Ben learn to manage his illness. After his endoscopy shows that Ben has EoE, he and his doctor--a gastroenterologist--work together as detectives to solve the mystery of what foods are causing his EoE symptoms. But Ben is worried, not to mention frustrated and sad about all of the problems his disease is causing. Being placed on a special elemental diet, in which he gets his nutrition primarily from drinking something called Splash, isn't nearly as fun or tasty as eating. Soon enough, Ben is able to gradually add food back into his diet. Sometimes he has to eliminate foods based on the findings of his regular endoscopies, and though it is frustrating, he is sure that they will figure it out soon. Eventually, he and his doctor solve the mystery and he is able to avoid eating these foods and remain healthy. |

| eosinophilic esophagitis patient education: Macaroni Isn't the Same Without Cheese Qian Yuan, Nancy S Rotter Ph D, Ph D Qian Yuan M D, 2015-05-21 In their book, Eating Isn't Always Easy, pediatric psychologist Nancy S. Rotter, PhD and gastroenterologist Qian Yuan, MD, PhD, explored the journey of a young child with eosinophilic esophagitis and provided an engaging story that children and parents dealing with similar issues could relate to. Now the authors return with a second book, geared toward slightly older children aged six through eight. Like their previous title, Macaroni Isn't the Same Without Cheese features a main character with EoE as he deals with the medical testing, dietary restrictions, and the everyday ins and outs of life with this illness. Seven-year-old Danny enjoys playing video games, spending time with his friends and family, and exploring the woods behind his house. He also enjoys hamburgers, pizza, and ice cream. But while others around him seem to eat anything they want, Danny isn't able to enjoy some of his favorite foods anymore. He has a condition called eosinophilic esophagitis, or EoE, which causes certain foods to irritate his esophagus and make him feel sick. For Danny, those foods include dairy, peanuts, and potatoes-but it took a long time, and a lot of tests, to figure that out. Starting when he was a baby, Danny always had trouble eating food. He would often choke, gag, and throw up, and he had difficulty gaining weight. This made his parents very worried. So when he was almost four, his parents brought him to see a stomach doctor-also known as a gastroenterologist-to try and figure out why. He had a test called an endoscopy, or scope, so Dr. Rubin could see inside of his body. After finding out about his EoE, Danny met even more doctors. There is Dr. Anderson, an allergist, who does tests to find out if he has any food allergies-and Dr. Sweet, a psychologist, who has an office full of toys and art supplies, who he can talk to about his feelings about his EoE, elimination diets. or anything at all. Living with EoE isn't always easy. Sometimes it makes him sad or angry. Macaroni isn't the same without cheese, and he sometimes misses being able to eat the same foods as everyone else. But the good news is, Danny doesn't feel sick all the time like he used to. He can still explore the woods behind his house, and he can still play soccer and video games. He's even met some new friends who follow special diets too. Featuring colorful illustrations and relatable, child-friendly language, Macaroni Isn't the Same Without Cheese is a realistic look at the life of a second grader with eosinophilic esophagitis throughout the diagnosis and treatment process. While addressing the real-life frustrations and obstacles familiar to children and caretakers dealing with EoE and food allergies, it also provides a message of hope-letting children know that they aren't alone in their disorder, and can still live a happy life and enjoy all their favorite activities with the help of support from their families and medical professionals. |
