Diagnostic Questions for Eosinophilic Esophagitis
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Have you ever had food allergies?
- Is swallowing difficult for you (e.g. with food or water)?
- Are you taking any medication to reduce gastric acid?
- Do you have asthma or childhood asthma?

Treatment of Eosinophilic Esophagitis
Treatment for eosinophilic esophagitis involves dietary modifications to eliminate allergens, topical corticosteroids to reduce inflammation, and medications to manage symptoms. In severe cases, dilation of the esophagus may be necessary.
