Overview

The optimal treatment of eosinophilic esophagitis remains uncertain. An eight-week course of therapy with topical corticosteroids (fluticasone or budesonide) may be used as the first-line pharmacologic therapy. Allergen elimination usually leads to improvement in dysphagia and reduction of eosinophil infiltration. Esophageal dilation of is generally reserved for refractory cases with esophageal stricture.

Medical Therapy

Steroid Therapy

Dietary Modification

  • The dietary strategies are as follows:
  • Elemental diet- highly effective in both adults and children, but it is limited by patient tolerability.
  • Empiric six-food elimination diet (SFED)- six most common foods that trigger EoE are as follows: soy, fish, cow milk, nuts, eggs, wheat.
  • Limited diet driven by allergy testing and patient history- The allergy testing directed diet approach, although effective in the pediatric group has only moderate success in adults.
  • The goal of dietary therapy is identification and removal of food antigens and consequently remove the sensitization.
  • Diet therapy gives patients an alternative to control their disease, many patients find the idea of remedying their sickness by means of getting removing a nutritional trigger greater appealing than taking a drug to counteract the downstream inflammatory response.
  • It is far vital to emphasize that the stern dietary elimination of multiple foods is only for a limited time but the long-term goal is the identify and remove the triggering dietary elements.
  • Prolonged deviation from the elimination diet can be managed via intermittent use of quick courses of topical steroids.

Esophageal dilation

  • Dilation is considered safe and effective in relieving the dysphagia in patients with Eosinophilic esophagitis.
  • Esophageal dilation has a very good acceptance in patients and it does not influence eosinophilic inflammation.
  • Patients with esophageal strictures can be treated by esophageal dilation.
  • Esophageal dilation is contraindicated in patients with endoscopic signs of acute inflammation.
  • Postprocedural pain is very common with esophageal dilation.
  • The use of swallowed topical steroids before dilation reduces the risk of endoscopic complications such as bleeding, perforation, and postprocedural pain.
  • Delaying the procedure in patients with strictures can lead to acute food bolus impactions.
  • Food impactions should be should be dealt carefully as they can cause spontaneous esophageal perforation, procedure-induced complications.
