Husband diagnosed with EOE, along with 2 colleagues! Medication side effects not great.. any insight to help him would be great xx

My husband been diagnosed with EOE after having multiple choking incidents. He’s never had allergies before and to be honest it came out of no where. Strangely enough two of his colleagues at work have also developed the same symptoms.. it makes me wonder if it was an environmental trigger!

The specialist has him on Jorveza (Budesonide) and Salpraz (Pantoprazole) but hes really worried about the long term side effects and feels like other areas of his health are declining because of the medications- weight gain, headaches, tiredness etc.

Does anyone have some insight that might help.
