Flowers abloom and GI distress
If you’ve noticed that you tend to experience unpleasant symptoms like heartburn and a bitter taste in your mouth as soon as the flowers start to bloom, take heart. Though the symptoms may seem to signal gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), you may actually have eosinophilic esophagitis (EOE), an allergic disorder that prompts irritation in the lining of your esophagus and is more often diagnosed in spring than in winter. “We believe that the increase in pollen in the spring can trigger EoE,” says Evan S. Dellon, MD, an associate professor of medicine and epidemiology in the division of gastroenterology at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
