EoE Food Test Pilot Study for Eosinophilic Esophagitis
This study is testing a new way to find out which foods cause Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE), a condition where certain white blood cells (eosinophils) build up in your esophagus (the tube that connects your mouth to your stomach). Researchers will take blood samples and test how your immune cells react to common trigger foods like milk, soy, egg, and wheat. This information will help your doctor decide if you should avoid these foods. The main goal is to see if these blood tests can accurately predict which foods are causing your EoE, by comparing the results to standard endoscopy (a procedure where a doctor looks inside your esophagus) after you've changed your diet. You can join if you are between 0 and 90 years old, have an EoE diagnosis confirmed by a recent biopsy, and plan to change your diet to treat your EoE. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 50 participants.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific intervention (dietary changes guided by test results). It aims to enroll 50 participants.
- What's involved
- You will have blood drawn for testing. Your symptoms will be tracked, and you will undergo standard endoscopy with biopsy after diet changes.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your esophageal eosinophilia will be measured at least 4 weeks after you start your diet changes.
