Video Summary

In this video session, healthcare providers discuss an ASGE ARIA EOE program aimed at understanding the patient experience of Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EOE). The session features Dennis, a patient diagnosed with EOE at age 24 who had experienced symptoms since her teenage years. She describes her long journey towards diagnosis, which included trials of dietary elimination, medications, and regular endoscopies. Dennis highlights the challenges she faced, such as miscommunication with healthcare providers, lack of awareness among family members, and the emotional toll of managing a chronic condition. She discusses her current treatment with Budesonide and her efforts to manage environmental allergies that exacerbate EOE symptoms. Dennis underscores the importance of awareness and education on EOE symptoms for both the public and healthcare providers. The session ends with a Q&A, where Dennis reflects on her journey, her coping strategies, and the crucial role of physician-patient partnerships in managing chronic diseases.
