Eosinophilic esophagitis denotes an inflammatory ailment. The esophagus undergoes inflammation when a particular variant of white blood cell, known as eosinophil, accumulates within its lining. Generally, this occurs in response to white blood cells reacting to acid reflux or an allergic response. Termed EoE, this ailment can impact individuals across various age groups. Nevertheless, around 75 percent of cases predominantly affect younger Caucasian males. Should you or a family member be diagnosed with EoE, the proficient GI specialists at Specialized Gastroenterology and Medical Associates are ready to assist.

Eosinophilic Esophagitis
how is Eosinophilic Esophagitis Managed?
Addressing EoE focuses on mitigating symptoms. If food allergies trigger your symptoms, evading those foods is usually recommended. In such instances, a six-food elimination diet (SFED) is advised, which encompasses avoiding milk, eggs, nuts, soy, fish, and shellfish. Subsequently, we will oversee symptom progression and gradually reintroduce foods. Topical steroids or proton pump inhibitors might be prescribed in select cases. Should symptoms persist, dilation could be advised, entailing the extension of the esophagus to enhance swallowing ease.
