New study finds forgoing one food may treat eosinophilic esophagitis as well as excluding six

Eliminating animal milk alone from the diet of adults with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is as effective at treating the disease as eliminating animal milk plus five other common foods, a new clinical trial has found. For people with EoE whose disease remains active after they forgo animal milk, a more restrictive diet may help them achieve remission, according to the researchers. These findings were published today in the journal The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology.
