OVERVIEW

Eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases (EGIDs) are serious, chronic, inflammatory digestive disorders characterized by excessive infiltration of eosinophils into gastrointestinal (GI) tissues. Lengthy diagnostic delays are common and often result in disease progression and missed treatment opportunities. In this live CME event, 3 experts will discuss the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of EGIDs below the esophagus. They will present the latest evidence for the efficacy of specialized diets and promising emerging pharmacologic agents that may soon alter the course of these diseases for many patients.
