Glenn Furuta - Eosinophilic Esophagitis

Bowel Sounds: The Pediatric GI Podcast

In this episode of Bowel Sounds, hosts Drs. Peter Lu, Jennifer Lee, and Jason Silverman talk to Dr. Glenn Furuta about eosinophilic esophagitis. We discuss how our understanding of eosinophilic esophagitis has evolved over time and the key role the pediatric GI community played in studying this disease. We discuss some of the more challenging aspects of its diagnosis and treatment, including the role of proton pump inhibitors and how to encourage compliance with dietary and pharmacological treatment. We also discuss recent innovations that will address barriers our patients currently face. Finally, Dr. Furuta reflects on his career and passes along advice that has helped him become a leader in this field.
As always, the discussion, views, and recommendations in this podcast are the sole responsibility of the hosts and guests and are subject to change over time with advances in the field.
