RCT | Study finds both one-food and six-food elimination diets are effective initial options for eosinophilic esophagitis
7 Mar, 2023 | 13:17h | UTCSummary:
The article describes a multicenter randomized trial that compared the effectiveness of a one-food elimination diet (1FED – eliminating animal milk) versus a six-food elimination diet (6FED – eliminating animal milk, wheat, egg, soy, fish and shellfish, and peanut and tree nuts) for treating eosinophilic esophagitis in adults.
The study found that both diets were equally effective at achieving histological remission, although the 6FED resulted in a higher proportion of patients achieving complete remission. Patients who did not achieve histological remission with the 1FED could proceed to the 6FED, and 43% had histological remission. For those without response to the 6FED, topical fluticasone propionate induced remission in 82%.
Overall, the study suggests that eliminating animal milk alone is an acceptable initial dietary therapy for eosinophilic esophagitis.

M-A | Efficacy of elimination diets in eosinophilic esophagitis
24 Feb, 2023 | 13:47h | UTCSummary: 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.
