Section 3: Eosinophilic Esophagitis
Having EoE in college throws a lot of curve balls your way. If you are on a feeding tube or feed at night, you may want to consider requesting a single from Disability Services. Having a single will allow you to feed in private and you also will not have to worry about waking others up at night. Because EoE reactions can be less predictable than your typical food allergic reaction, you may want to inform your professors about your disease and figure out a system in case you need to miss class. If your parents are currently caring for you at home (your feeding tubes, night feedings, etc...) you may want to start doing it for yourself before you get to college so that you feel confident when it does come time to doing it on your own.
