Article Synopsis
- The study looked at patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) who were doing well on a type of medicine called proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) and then tried a special diet to see if it would help them even more.
- Out of 22 patients who tried the diet, 13 still felt better, while 9 had their symptoms return.
- Most people said they would recommend trying this diet because it helped them find a treatment that worked better for their life.
Background And Aims: Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an antigen-mediated inflammatory esophageal disease that is commonly treated with high-dose proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs), topical corticosteroids, or food elimination diet (FED) monotherapy. Combination treatment has not been well studied in the management of EoE. We aimed to determine if PPI and FED combination therapy was able to induce histologic remission in patients with EoE refractory to monotherapy.
