Trouble Swallowing? These Symptoms Could Mean EoE

Does it fee like food gets stuck when you swallow? Or like swallowing takes more effort than it should? 

These symptoms are often dismissed—but they may be signs of Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE), a condition that frequently goes undiagnosed for years.

In this episode of Gastro Girl, Jacqueline Gaulin sits down with Dr. Neil D. Parikh to break down what these symptoms really mean—and when it's time to take action.

 In this episode:

• Why food may feel like it's getting stuck

• The difference between reflux and something more

• Early warning signs many people overlook

• When swallowing problems need medical evaluation

• How EoE is diagnosed and why timing matters

If you've ever adjusted how you eat, avoided certain foods, or felt like swallowing just isn't right—this episode will help you connect the dots.
