My 2.5 year old was diagnosed with EoE in December and is going for his 3rd endoscopy. This will be his 3rd time being put to sleep, wheeled away from me, and awoken to tears. Every time is hard and I say I can't put him or us through it again, but i know it's medically necessary. Please pray that this time we have some good results. We have drastically altered his diet based on the recommendation of nutrioinist and the GI doctor. If we don't have decent results, I don't know what the next step is... I mean, I do, it's an elemental diet (no food, just special medical food.) But I am not willing to even try this. I need everyone to send us good vibes and prayers!! I am so stressed out and worried for him. It's such an awful feeling to see your child sick and knowing that no matter how hard you try, you may be unable to help them! I type this with tears in my eyes for him. He's such a sweet, smart, wonderful boy, but faced with such adversity when it comes to eating.Thanks everyone!

My DS also has EoE. He has had around 12 scopes since he was diagnosed at 1 year old. They never get easier.
He has also been on an elemental diet quite often. They are hard, but it is the only way he can feel better sometimes. He doesn't even mind at this point, but he has also never been able to eat more than 6 foods.
I hope the biopsy results come back with good news! I will be thinking of you all.
