I’m 52F ( almost 53) and just diagnosed at the end of May by my GI doctor after an endoscopy and biopsies. I’m already dealing with perimenopause stuff (uterine polyp surgery coming up this month), so I’m a bit stressed and overwhelmed.

Anyway, I see my GI doctor again later this month for another office visit and I finally have my first virtual Dietitian appointment this week (this was her first availability).

So far I’ve eliminated dairy since June 1 on my own. I told my doctor I don’t know what to eat if I try the 6 FeD diet, so he said to start with whatever’s easiest. My question is: when he does the next endoscopy and biopsies, if things look better and my eosinophils are lower, how will he know if it’s the PPI or if it’s the elimination of dairy that are the reason?

Hi, I’m a 52F, just diagnosed with EoE after an endoscopy and biopsies. My symptom was food getting stuck in my esophagus several times. It always eventually went down or I (gross) regurgitated it.

I can’t get an appointment until early July with the telehealth dietitians my GI doctor recommends, so I’m thinking of at least trying to eliminate dairy on my own.

I would love some tips on how eliminate dairy, as someone who loves yogurt, cheese, ice cream, cereal with milk, coffee with cream, etc. It seems so overwhelming and it’s only one food group out of the 6 possible problem groups😭

I don’t see an option to download it as a pdf and I can’t copy & paste the ISBNs. I usually copy and paste them into Ingram’s ipage. Anyone figure out any tips?
