Health professional & mother-of-two continuing to battle EoE symptoms a decade post-diagnosis

After wrestling with symptoms for more than a decade, such as difficulty swallowing food, heartburn and reflux, Nadia presented to her gastroenterologist and was examined via a gastroscopy. The next thing she recalls was waking up in hospital emergency after experiencing complications posed by her narrowed oesophagus. At the time, Nadia had not yet been diagnosed with EoE. Since her diagnosis, however, Nadia has learned to accept and better manage her disease. Along with her supportive partner, Nadia has lived and worked around the world, however she still feels that EoE has, at times, dominated her relationship with her partner and compromised her family’s quality of life.
