Food testing for eosinophilic esophagitis in children
Part of Digestive system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) within the last 3 months, based on a biopsy showing more than 15 eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) per high-powered field.
- You are planning to change your diet as part of your EoE treatment.
- You don't yet know if milk, soy, egg, or wheat are causing your EoE symptoms.
- You are willing to follow an elimination diet (removing certain foods) based on the test results.
- You are not currently taking high-dose acid reducers (like omeprazole) or immune-suppressing medicines (like steroids, biologics, or chemotherapy) that could affect the tests.
- You do not have any other significant gut conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease or infectious colitis.
- It is safe for you to undergo an upper endoscopy with biopsy and to follow a restricted diet.

This study tests a new way to check for a condition called eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) in children getting oral immunotherapy for food allergies. You swallow a small capsule on a string to collect cells from your esophagus—no endoscopy needed.
This study tests whether a dairy-free diet combined with a special liquid nutrition drink (called Kate Farms) can help children and young adults with eosinophilic esophagitis (a condition where certain white blood cells build up in the esophagus and cause trouble swallowing, pain, or vomiting). The goal is to see if this combination can reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.
This trial compares different elimination diets to see which one best reduces inflammation in children with eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders. Your child might have fewer symptoms and a better outcome if the right diet is found.
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.
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.
This trial tests whether goat milk protein is tolerated and safe for kids with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) whose symptoms improve when cow milk is stopped and come back when cow milk is added again. It may help some families find an alternative to cow milk, but you must meet specific “milk trigger” and allergy-safety requirements.
