A complete history will help determine the correct therapy and helps in determining the prognosis. Patients presenting with eosinophilic esophagitis have a history of:
- Elevated serum IgE levels
- Response to interventions such as diet restriction
- History of food hypersensitivity
- Burning sensation in the epigastric area
