Can people with Eosinophilic Gastroenteritis work? What kind of work can they perform?
Can you work with Eosinophilic Gastroenteritis? Real patients share what jobs they do and how they adapted, plus practical guidance.
There is no limit to what an individual with EGE can accomplish when the condition is properly managed, providing there are no additional medical complications. Working as a chef could prove challenging but I know of individuals that have overcome the obstacles and have rewarding careers in the food industry. Because EGE is a rare disease, it is difficult to provide percentages working in specific industries.

I work full time, now. However, when I was in a really bad flare I couldn't even move. I was out of work for 4 months on FMLA. If symptoms are being managed it is more than possible to keep an average job with mild difficulty.
