Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorders EGIDs | Diagnosis & Treatments
How are EGIDs diagnosed?
Only a biopsy can distinguish an EGID from other digestive diseases. If a diagnosis is made, food and environmental allergy testing are helpful in guiding therapy.
How are EGIDs treated?
Treatment involves either medical or dietary therapy. There are several medications available to reverse the eosinophils in the esophagus. Alternatively, based on allergy testing, we can recommend a diet restricting specific foods that may be triggering the disease.
