Keli’s first child began to suffer from EoE from only 2 months of age. Having visited several GPs and paediatricians to determine the root cause of her son’s refusal to eat, Keli too, became progressively ill. After being referred to hospital emergency on two occasions complaining of a stomach ache, Keli was eventually referred for an endoscopy and biopsy of her lower oesophagus, which led to her diagnosis of EoE. 2 months following her diagnosis, her then 18-month-old son was also diagnosed with EoE.
