Jordan's Current Diet

 One of the most frequently asked questions seems to be, "what can Jordan eat?" Here are some pictures of the foods Jordan can eat. We didn't take a picture of his rice milk or the coconut milk ice-cream he can eat...only the things he eats daily. Occasionally, he gets Dum-Dum suckers or Smarties candy. Amazingly, Jordan has adapted to his diet much easier than anyone could ever believe.
Enjoy Life cookies and candy bar

Jordan's main "food"...he needs 6 Splash daily

Most fruits, sweet potatoes, and cucumbers

Rare Disease Day

 February 29th was recognized as Rare Disease Day 2012. http://www.rarediseaseday.org/
Eosinophilic Esophagitis is classified as rare due to the low prevalence, high level of complexity, and chronic debilitating nature of this disease. FOX Carolina based out of Greenville, SC made a video on a 6 year old boy named Giles Martin Schanen in honor of Rare Disease Day. Dr. Markowitz ( Jordan's pediatric GI doctor) is discussing EoE in the video link below.
