EatingShouldBeAPleasure (MangiareDevEssereUnPiacere) is an Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) awareness campaign promoted by ‘Dr. Falk Pharma Italia’, sponsored by ‘Associazione Pazienti ESEO Italia’, the Italian EoE Patients Association, to raise awareness of this rare and often undiagnosed condition.

What is Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE)

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a rare but, increasingly common disease, that causes chronic inflammation that alters the normal function of the esophagus (food pipe), the organ that transports food to the stomach, which causes difficulty swallowing food.

Il punto di vista

the Gastroenterologist

“Chi soffre di Esofagite Eosinofila, trovando difficoltà nell’ingerire alcuni cibi, attiva una serie di comportamenti ‘adattativi’ che cambiano a seconda della fase di gravità della malattia: si inizia eliminando alcuni alimenti che inaspriscono la sintomatologia, per arrivare ad aggiungere salse e condimenti, sino a frullare il pasto. Con una corretta educazione alimentare e la giusta terapia prescritta dallo specialista, si può ritrovare il piacere del cibo e la socialità”.

Menu to Enjoy – also with EoE

Eating should be a pleasure, even if you suffer from eosinophilic esophagitis.
