M-A | Efficacy of elimination diets in eosinophilic esophagitis

24 Feb, 2023 | 13:47h | UTC

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the effectiveness of various dietary treatment regimens for eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). After analyzing 34 studies with 1762 patients, it was concluded that dietary therapy is a viable and efficacious option for individuals with EoE of all ages, with an overall histological remission rate of 53.8% and a clinical response rate of 80.8%. The study also found that highly restrictive dietary regimes, such as a six-food elimination diet, may not be superior to less restrictive dietary regimens, such as a four-food elimination diet or one-food elimination diet, in achieving histological remission, supporting less restrictive dietary regimens as a treatment option. The study has several limitations, such as the observational nature of most studies included.
