Jessica's Story: Eosinophilic Esophagitis

In this video, Jessica of Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, shares her journey living with eosinophilic esophagitis (EOE), a chronic inflammatory condition that causes difficulty swallowing and food impactions. After years of symptoms that were initially treated as acid reflux, a biopsy finally confirmed her diagnosis. Jessica describes the challenges of living with a lifelong condition, including ineffective early treatments and ongoing barriers to accessing specialty medications. She also encourages others living with EOE to advocate for themselves and connect with supportive communities like the American Partnership for Eosinophilic Disorders.
