Boston Children’s Answers: Raising Celiac

The association between eosinophilic esophagitis (EOE) and celiac disease is still controversial and its prevalence is highly variable. Like celiac disease, one of the treatments for EOE is the elimination of specific food groups from the diet. But unlike celiac disease where the known trigger is gluten, with EOE, it takes some deeper investigation. It’s fair to say it’s complicated...So, how does a patient with celiac disease and EOE manage the dietary considerations of both diseases? How do they handle the anxiety at mealtimes? Does a gluten-free diet help with the EOE symptoms? We’ll discuss this and more with Dr. Erin Syverson and dietitian Tara McCarthy on this episode of Raising Celiac. The Raising Celiac podcast is made possible by the generous support of the Global Autoimmune Institute.
