For some people with EoE, every meal comes with uncertainty. Food sticks. Swallowing hurts. Daily food routines become difficult to manage. In this episode, sponsored by Regeneron and Sanofi, we take a look into eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) through Dan’s story of living with unexplained symptoms and his long search for answers, alongside clinical insight from gastroenterologist Dr. Kumkum Patel that helps explain what’s happening in the body with EoE. Together, they trace how EoE shows up in everyday life, why it is often overlooked, and how understanding the condition and seeking appropriate treatment can help.

Eating is one of the most basic things we do. But behind every meal, your body is carrying out thousands of invisible calculations. Usually, you never think about any of it. But when something goes wrong? You think about it all the time.

On Eating, Interrupted, veteran journalist and Crohn's disease patient Cynthia McFadden explores what happens when food stops feeling simple, and starts feeling personal.

From chronic conditions, to food allergies, to the latest science on the gut, brain, and immune system, this is a show about all the complicated ways our bodies respond to what we eat.

Real stories. Real science. This is Eating, Interrupted.
