Eosinophilic Esophagitis is often misdiagnosed or undiagnosed in primary care settings, yet it’s a common cause of esophageal symptoms. It’s commonly mistaken for the more common gastroesophageal reflux disease as it can present with symptoms of reflux and dysphagia. How can we differentiate eosinophilic esophagitis from reflux esophagitis? What’s needed to establish a diagnosis? What are the management options and what’s the long-term outlook for those with the condition? These are some of the questions I’ll be asking my guest Dr. Karthik Ravi, a gastroenterologist at the Mayo Clinic as we discuss “Eosinophilic Esophagitis”.
