This is some more information about eoe what lynzy and alex have .I share on fb from time to time.As many of you know,two of our children suffers from a rare autoimmune disease called Eosinophilic Esophagitis ("EoE"). People with EoE are quite literally allergic to food. The proteins in food cause a build up in the digestive tract and blood of a white blood cell called an eosinophil.Eosinophils are meant to attack parasites, but the body of a child with EoE mistakes food for a parasite. As a result, the build up of eosinophils cause numerous and very serious health problems, including, failure to grow and thrive, uncontrollable vomiting, severe stomach and throat pain, inability to sleep, joint pain, just to name a few. Many people with EoE can only eat certain food and have a feeding tube to survive. The more we get the word out there, the more likely it will be that we will reach our goal to help find a cure for Eosinophilic Diseases.
CURED is a charity that I am actively involved with that raises money to find a cure for EoE. CURED has donated over $2 million to research over the past 6 years. donations are accepted by mail it to CURED at P.O. Box 32, Lincolnshire, IL 60069. or go to
