On this episode of Food Allergy Talk, I welcome Ryan Piansky, a college student living with EoE as well as a patient advocate and community member with the American Partnership for Eosinophilic Disorders also known as APFED.
Ryan was just two years old when he was diagnosed with EoE, and has had to deal with the symptoms and food triggers all his life. He has a number of allergens from EoE as well as some other anaphylactic allergies as well.
Today we will chat with Ryan about his journey living a life with EoE and food allergies, how he got involved with APFED, what is APFED, what is EoE?
Ryan Piansky is a 22 year old college student living with Eosinophilic Esophagitis and Eosinophilic Asthma. He has been involved with the American Partnership of Eosinophilic Disorders for over 10 years as a community member and patient advocate. He's passionate about sharing his own experiences with a chronic condition to help APFED in aiding others with their journeys with eosinophilic disorders.
