Talking to Your Doctor About Eosinophilic Esophagitis
Whether you’ve been officially diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) or you’re looking to get evaluated for the condition, having a plan for what to discuss with your doctor can make your next visit more successful.
Sometimes it can feel like there’s not enough time during your appointment to talk with your physician or nurse practitioner about your concerns. Going through this guide will help you remember to bring up important information early on in your visit. This preparation, along with understanding the basics of EoE symptoms and treatment, may free up time toward the end of your appointment for more of your questions. Download this guide onto your phone or print it for your next doctor appointment.
Not everyone with the symptoms of EoE has the condition, but by preparing for your doctor visit, you can help your provider understand what you’re experiencing, and that can be the first step to getting the right diagnosis.
