Meet Ryan! He is a six year old boy who lives in Stoughton. He is currently in kindergarten at The Gibbons School. Ryan loves playing with Legos, he enjoys spending time outdoors, and loves playing with friends. Ryan does have one enemy though, FOOD. Ryan suffers from a disease called Eosinophilic Esophagitis. When he eats certain foods or is exposed to environmental allergens, his body sends eosinophils to his esophagus where they attack and damage the tissue. This disease causes chronic chest and tummy pain, vomiting, gagging, and other symptoms for him. Currently there is no cure for eosinophilic disorders and no good treatment. Ryan is on a very restricted diet. Due to his experiences with food he has many food aversions. His most recent scope has shown that this disease has ravaged his tiny body. He will be placed on an all liquid diet and will receive all of his nourishment from elemental formula. Imagine telling a child they can no longer eat!
HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOU COULDN'T EAT? LET’S HELP FUND A CURE!
