EOE- finally feeling better- in case this helps anyone I want to share my experience.

I got sick in January 2026 and didn’t get a diagnosis until after an upper endoscopy in mid April 2026 which came back as EOE (eosinophilic esophagitis).
I was able to couple this with results I had from an allergist from 2024, which told me I was particularly reactive to weed, tree and grass pollens as well as dog, cat, horse and rabbit.

Getting to the grit of it here is what I did to FINALLY start feeling better.

  1. i sold my dog to a good family
  2. i cleaned every inch of every room and every nook and cranny where there was a disturbing amount of dust and fluff 😬🤮
  3. I had the air vents, furnace, and dryer vent, professionally cleaned
  4. took the meds offered by the doctor.

But it has been the cleaning that has made a difference. It was hard work and grueling at times, but I took it room by room and did a thorough job. Including washing curtains, cleaning the vents of the microwave, getting the spaces above cabinets, window tracks. You name it, I cleaned it. YouTube was helpful for cleaning solutions and tips.
So on the off chance that someone is still suffering with their EOE despite trying everything-Highly recommend getting serious about cleaning- it’s been worth it to feel better.
