Nine-year-old Joshua from New York suffers from a rare disease called eosinophilic esophagitis which means that he is fatally allergic to nearly all foods.
Pizza, hot dogs, chocolates, sandwiches; any snack a normal nine-year-old might dream of, Joshua can't eat. If he tries to eat any normal food, his reactions can range from vomiting and diarrhoea to anaphylactic shock.
Rare: Joshua, nine, suffers from a condition called
eosinophilic esophagitis which means that he is fatally allergic to almost all
foods
Fatal: Joshua's parents have to cook for the family on a
patio grill as even the smell of food could be deadly to the
nine-year-old
Even the scent of food could be lethal for him, meaning that his parents must cook meals for the rest of the family on a patio grill.
His dad, Brant, told Anderson Cooper: ‘The hardest thing for me is that he cannot eat what we eat.’
The only thing Joshua can eat on a day-to-day basis is baby food. Other than that he gets his nutrients from a doctor-prescribed formula fed through a tube into his stomach.
Joshua is home-schooled by his mom, Cara, because of his life debilitating disease. ‘Every morning Joshua wakes up at 6.45 and usually it’s because he hears the school bus,’ she said.
Joshua can only eat baby food, other than that he
is fed through a tube into his stomach
Home-schooled: Joshua's disease means he cannot go to
school. Mom Cara said this often makes him cry
‘Sometimes he cries when he looks out the window because he can’t be on that bus, he will never be on that school bus with those kids.
‘Right now I am looking at a future for Joshua with absolutely no cure. Every day he is alive is a miracle.
‘There’s not a minute that goes by that I’m not afraid.’
