Our Origin Story
Hello! My name is Jason and I created this site after being diagnosed with EoE. For those of you unfamiliar with EoE, in a nutshell it’s an auto immune response that causes food to get stuck in your oesophagus along with strong acid reflux. It can be quite distressing and hard to explain to people in a social situation. Post diagnosis, my biggest issue was finding foods that I could still enjoy, as someone who lived on toast and butter, pasta and cake, suddenly having the rug pulled out from under my feet left me feeling a bit uncertain as to where to turn.
Whilst I’m still going through medical assessment to improve my lot, I often get frustrated as someone with multiple allergies or reaction triggers, there was nowhere consistent I could go to find food replacements or other useful things that would help me manage to change my lifestyle, because that is what this is, a lifestyle change.
The Mission
My aim is that this website becomes somewhere people can come to share their experiences being on this diet, short or long term, to share coping strategies or ask questions. I’d also like to make it a place people can find food alternatives that are actually tasty and a good replacement for the food they used to love. I have yet to find a decent alternative to toast, but I haven’t given up hope!
