Talk:Eosinophilic esophagitis

Researchers

Skoch3 (talk) 02:59, 20 June 2009 (UTC): Not sure if EE researchers section will be added to article, but have a couple links:

• Marc Rothenberg, Cincinnati Childrens' Hospital: http://www.cincinnatichildrens.org/research/div/all-imm/labs/rothenberg/default.htm

Excellent

Excellent barium swallow!! Wow! That's one for my teaching file... I have a better multiple ring image that I'll put up in a bit. The barium swallow image on the right is achalasia I'm guessing, so I'll download and trim. I don't have a Commons account so I'll have to put the result on the en site -- Samir धर्म 04:37, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

I wish I could take credit for it, but it's actually from some random guy on Flickr. I was looking for a new (free) image for pleural effusion, and had the thought to search Flickr for "x-ray" restricted to Creative Commons-licensed images. I didn't find any good effusions, but I did find half-a-dozen other useful films. So I uploaded them to Commons and added them to the relevant articles. (Incidentally, you edited the tiny version rather than the fullsized verison available from the description page.)  — JVinocur (talk • contribs) 23:01, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Non Sequitur Needs Correcting

The following non sequitur needs correcting:

"The use of feeding tubes in these situations is often A minority of EE patients appear to be non-atopic (non-allergic), yet still present with this disease."

I imagine that the missing word is "required", but I would like for the original author, or in any case someone more competent than I in medical matters, to make the edit.Pernoctus (talk) 19:29, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

Link between Celiac Disease and Eosinophilic Esophagitis needs inclusion

122.58.233.105 (talk) 09:20, 31 May 2013 (UTC)It would be great if someone more qualified can include this new data: http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-230X/13/96/abstract This study confirms the association between EoE and CD. However, this association may be limited to pediatrics where the risk of each condition is increased 50 to 75-fold in patients diagnosed with the alternative condition. The concomitant diagnosis of these conditions should be considered in pediatric patients with upper gastrointestinal symptoms.

Feline esophagus should NOT redirect here

In the middle of studying for my diagnostic radiology boards I noticed that Feline Esophagus redirects to this page on eosinophilic esophagitis. This is incorrect. Feline esophagus is an observation of an anatomic variant during barium swallow in which transient transverse esophageal folds are noted. It is so named because it mimics the mucosal fold pattern of the distal esophagus of the cat. It is associated with GERD. Tonpinar (talk) 01:50, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

Expanded Potential Causation?

Below is a brief synopsis of my personal journey to acquire this chronic disease. Perhaps someone is aware of a data-set that will allow a "probable cause" section or addition to the physiology element of the page based on my circumstance.

First, I had a genetic predisposition for hypochlorhydria theorized by much slower digestion (empirical, but easy to measure anecdotally). The low Hcl levels even after eating allowed the lower esophageal sphincter to stay relaxed so gastroesophageal reflux was common. Carbonated drinks & coffee exacerbated symptoms of reflux. Antacid tabs attenuated the pain until levels returned shortly after. Symptoms 100% eliminated when taking Hcl tabs and after 3 weeks of treatment, all reflux ceased.  Zero signs of allergens to wheat, dairy, soy or seafood exist.

Most plausible cause for acquiring EoE would be the carbonated drinks or coffee on an empty stomach for nearly 5 years , promoting to acid reflux (hence the eosinophil response) with the pre-existing condition as the confounding variable. Coachbricewilliams28 (talk) 19:59, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Forgoing one food treats eosinophilic esophagitis as well as excluding six

Forgoing one food treats eosinophilic esophagitis as well as excluding six. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). February 27, 2023.

It summarizes:

KL Kliewer et al. One-food versus six-food elimination diet therapy for the treatment of eosinophilic oesophagitis: a multicentre, randomised, open-label trial. The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology. DOI: 10.1016/S2468-1253(23)00012-2 (2023).

From the summary article:

Eliminating animal milk alone from the diet of adults with eosinophilic esophagitis, or EoE, is as effective at treating the disease as eliminating animal milk plus five other common foods, a clinical trial funded by the National Institutes of Health has found. For people with EoE whose disease remains active after they forgo animal milk, a more restrictive diet may help them achieve remission, according to the researchers. These findings were published today in the journal The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology. “Diet-based therapy for eosinophilic esophagitis will be much easier to follow for many people if it involves cutting just one food from the diet rather than six,” said Hugh Auchincloss, M.D., acting director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of NIH.
