Patients have told us they often feel lonely when they or a loved one has been diagnosed with a chronic gastrointestinal condition, such as an eosinophilic disorder like eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). We invited Mary Jo Strobel, the Executive Director of The American Partnership for Eosinophilic Disorders (Apfed), to help address this major patient and caregiver stressor: "Where can I go for support and resources and connect with others going through similar health journeys?" Mary Jo explains all the resources Apfed has available to patients as well as parents navigating an eosinophilic disorder for their children. Check out the video version of this episode on our YouTube channel, @gastrogirl, for some help navigating Apfed's extensive website and features that you can find at apfed.org.
