Eosinophilic oesophagitis

Eosinophilic oesophagitis is a condition causing inflammation of the oesophagus (food pipe).

Symptoms experienced with eosinophilic oesophagitis can vary but include dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), food getting stuck and vomiting. Diagnosis of the condition must be made by a Gastroenterologist. The research into this condition is still progressing, but currently it is thought that food allergy may have a role in the development and treatment of the condition.

How we can help

The 6 food elimination diet is used in some cases, whereby specific foods are avoided, helping to reduce the inflammation in the oesophagus. The diet needs to be followed very carefully and can be quite restrictive, and therefore it is important to have guidance of a Dietitian. After the diet has been followed for a period of time, strategic food challenges are completed to identify the individual's specific food allergens.
