EGE Network is for patients and their families coping with Eosinophilic Gastroenteritis (EGE), a type of EGID, characterized by having above normal amounts of eosinophils, a type of white blood cell, in the stomach & small intestine.

Please note that APFED will be streamlining our pages! For the followers of our subset-specific pages (such as EoE Network, EGE Network, etc), please be aware that those pages will be phased out on May 1st. Moving forward, your centralized source for all things Eos will be APFED’s main page: https://www.facebook.com/APFED/. Be sure to “Like” us and “Follow” us to stay connected!
Each subset of eosinophil-associated disease also has a dedicated page on Eos Connections (apfed.inspire.com). This online support community lets you ask questions, connect, and receive support from other patients and caregivers like you. It's a great way to stay connected with the Eos community!

Here's a fun way for kids to raise awareness this Halloween season! We’ll be sharing stories and photos on social media throughout Halloween week (October 25-31).
How It Works: Have your child create a sign that shares a fact about eosinophil-associated diseases (EADs) or shares what life is like with an EAD. Take a photo of your child in a Halloween costume holding the sign and email to [email protected] by Oct. 25, 2016 with your consent to share via APFED’s social media. Your child may be selected to be highlighted!
