Ultra-processed foods and eosinophilic esophagitis study
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Digestive system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at how certain chemicals from ultra-processed foods (like packaged snacks and sodas) might trigger eosinophilic esophagitis, a food allergy condition. It will compare people with the disease to healthy volunteers of the same age and sex.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study follows children with eosinophilic esophagitis (an allergic condition causing throat irritation) to see how well their treatment works over time. It will help doctors understand better ways to manage this condition in children.
This study tests a new way to find out which foods (milk, soy, egg, or wheat) might be causing your EoE symptoms. If you qualify, you may get a clearer picture of what to avoid, which could help you feel better and avoid more invasive testing.
This study looks at how the immune system and the esophageal barrier function in people with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) compared to those without. It involves taking biopsies during an upper endoscopy to understand the disease better. The results may help improve treatments for EoE.
This study looks at how inflamed the esophagus is in children who have eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). It may help doctors better understand what’s driving symptoms like trouble swallowing and food getting stuck.
This study looks at how the esophagus stretches and moves in people with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) who still have symptoms even though their inflammation is under control. The goal is to better understand why symptoms persist and find better ways to measure them.
This study looks at how eosinophilic inflammation in the esophagus and intestines affects outcomes like symptoms and test findings. It may help clinicians better understand these conditions and track what changes over time.
