Short Duration 6Fed Sponge For EoE Patients

Patients undergoing the six food elimination diet will be monitored during the initial elimination period at 2, 4 and 6 weeks with swallowing the cytosponge. This is a ten minute procedure in the office. The cytosponge will be sent to the lab for histology reading of the eosinophilic count.

During the initial 6 week elimination period, participants will eliminate the 6 most common food allergens from their diet (fish, nuts, eggs, soy, wheat, dairy). Participants will return for the cytosponge during this time at 2, 4 and 6 weeks of elimination.

This is a short questionnaire to assess the participants swallowing. This will be completed at baseline and during each cytosponge visit during the initial elimination period (2, 4, 6 weeks).

"This is a short questionnaire for patients to compare their experiences swallowing the cytosponge versus completing an upper endoscopy. The scale is rated from worst experience to best experience."
