Abstract:
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic Th2 mediated condition characterized by esophageal dysfunction and histologic eosinophilic inflammation.1 The pathogenic role of food antigens in EoE is well established, with demonstrated therapeutic efficacy of elimination diet strategies.2,3 Although effective in up to 95% of patients, elemental diet compliance is poor.2 Similarly, a 6-food elimination diet (SFED) is effective in approximately 70% of patients with EoE but long-term adherence may be limited.3-6.
