| Introduction | My name is Megan, and I am the wife to my wonderful husband, Peter of 9 years, and Mother to three beautiful children: Abby (7), Lexi (4), and Judah (2). My youngest daughter, Lexi was diagnosed with a rare and chronic gastrointestinal disease called Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) in July of 2010. EoE occurs when a white blood cell called an eosinophil (eos) see specific foods as parasites. In turn, the eos attack Lexi's esophagus. This causes an array of symptoms including sickness and pain. To date, Lexi has only 8 safe foods and requires supplemental nutrition with a hypoallergenic formula through a g-tube in her stomach. Due to Lexi's limited diet, I've developed a few allergy-friendly foods which can be found on the recipe page, along with some of our favorite allergy-friendly products. There is also information regarding Lexi's path to a diagnosis, treatments, allergy testing, food trials, and more. EoE can be tough, but you know there are others out there who struggle in the battle against food, it can make it that much easier to keep pushing through. |
