Eosinophilic Esophagitis in a 79 year old male.
Has anyone had Eosinophilic Eosophagitis and how was it treated?

What were your symptoms? Did you have itching without hives on your body?
I’m a 29 year old female that was diagnosed with EoE last year. I’ve had 5 EGDs with dilations & biopsies in the last year. I can’t try the elimination diet because of another diagnosis that prevents me from doing so. I’ve tried PPIs (omeprazole) which didn’t work, tried Budesonide which didn’t work for me either. So, I started Dupixent about a month ago & will find out in July with another EGD & biopsies to see if it’s working to bring my eosinophil count down.

I have used Flovent- an inhaled steroid. Instead of inhaling it, I swallowed it with a small amount of water. I am now seeking another inhaled steroid because they stopped making Flovent. I also have a limited diet. I have not had a biopsy but 3 doctors have said that EE is what I probably have.
