Why So Many Scopes for EOE??

Описание: Are you wondering why you have to get so many scopes when you have Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EOE)? Are all of the endoscopies really that necessary?

In this video, we discuss why endoscopies/scopes are essential when you have Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EOE) and the types of endoscopies/scopes that a person with EOE may have. This scopes include dilitations, food disimpactions, and endoscopic stents. Some people with Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EOE) may also need to have a feeding tube (or a PEG tube) placed if the disease has ruined their esophagus. We explain the goals of the scopes, why multiple scopes may have to be performed, and how these scopes can improve your quality of life.

We also discuss how a PEG tube can be used for a elemental diet, commonly used as part of an elimination diet.
