Allergy shots seem to be working
Hi all,
I wanted to share my treatment results in regards to environment allergy triggered eoe. This is not dupixent and this journey has been over years, and is still going.
I have been diagnosed with EOE for about 6 years. No real indication of eoe except for swallowing issues. Was diagnosed and dilated. Was on daily prontix. First 40mg then 20mg with the usual side effects..absorption issues and increased polyps…Tried elimination diet and food allergy test, no effect. Stopped drinking 3 years ago.
Decided to get environmental allergies tested last year and I have many. Started on allergy exposure shots once a week for the last year slowly working up. Have noticed positive results in their progressive tests.
Rescoped last year and had first indication of no eosinophils, but it was unclear if that was just ppi, allergy therapy, or both.
I am happy to say, after weening off to every other day ppi, that I am still showing no eosinophils with the most recent scope.
This is not 100% yet as I’m still partially on the ppi but it’s definitely the clearest indication yet. Next year I will ween totally off the ppi.
I hope this helps someone else.
