Advance for EoE in the Rothenberg Lab
A recent study by Shoda et al. in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology represents a push forward in new platforms, namely tissue and blood, for diagnosis of one of the more rare eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders, eosinophilic gastritis (EG). The investigators uncovered associations between specific gastric molecular profiles and histologic and endoscopic features, providing insight and tools for this emerging rare disease. This study was done in collaboration with the Consortium for Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disease Researchers (CEGIR).

College Corner was created by Hannah Safron and John Kosner.

- Freshman (19 years old)
- University and Major: University of Illinois at Chicago, Public Health
Is it difficult avoiding your allergy when you have roommates?
- I've been able to avoid any issues by having the allergy conversation before even meeting my roommates. Direct communication is so necessary to set clear expectations about food in your dorm room when you're sharing a room with someone who may not have any allergies.
How do you feel about the way your campus handles your allergies?
- Unfortunately, UIC was not the most equipped to deal with allergies when I first arrived. Since talking with the director of productions, the dining hall has made some strides but they are still transitioning to a more accommodating environment. For example, I recently had to request that chopped peanuts were not openly available at the ice cream topping bar. Making these requests can be intimidating, but the director of productions has promised changes, and in the meantime, I avoid that area completely.
You can connect with me on Spokin @ hsafron.

- Sophomore (20 years old)
- University and Major: University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Molecular and Cellular Biology
Is it difficult avoiding your allergy when you have roommates?
- Living with someone can be difficult, especially with allergies. Echoing Hannah, communication of your individual needs is significant. Luckily, many of people on campus that I have explained my allergies to have been more than understanding. Understanding from peers and even adults takes a thoughtful explanation of how severe allergies can be. Roommate situations can become tough when communication stops, so be willing to talk!
How do you feel about the way your campus handles your allergies?
- At UIUC, they have been as accommodating as they possibly can be. Students with allergies can apply to Disability Resources & Education Services(DRES), which allows that student to have access to their necessary resources. Those resources for me being Inclusive Solutions(an app for ordering food at dinning halls in an allergen free zone) and direct contact with DRES staff. DRES is not just limited to those with allergies, but is extremely valuable to anyone with disabilities, making U of I one of the most inclusive Universities to attend. I was really lucky with how UIUC handles allergies!

Food Allergy Policy Reminder!
|
|
|
January is a great time to check on your own or a loved one's school food allergy policies. Comfort in the policies currently in place is natural, but revisits should come two times a year: one being at the start and the other after holiday break. Remind school personnel of the needs that have to be met (what is in their 504), make sure emergency procedures are in place and that new personnel are aware of students daily needs and the emergency plan. Assuming that "everything will be alright" or being complacent can lead to breakdowns in care plans. High school and college students should take charge in reaching out to key personnel since it can lead to becoming more independent. If you would like more information on how to implement care plans, please contact us!
