EoE Module 8: Approaches to Elimination Diet Therapies in Eosinophilic Esophagitis-INSTRUCTION VIDEO: EoE Module 8

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Nirmala Gonsalves and Bethany Dorfler introduce Module 8, focusing on selecting elimination dietary therapy for eosinophilic esophagitis (EOE). The module outlines the history, types, effectiveness, and considerations of dietary therapy, advising clinicians on initiating treatment discussions with patients. Key points include understanding various elimination diets (one, two, four, or six-food), acknowledging lifestyle factors, and managing long-term therapy. Emphasizing that 70% of EOE patients have one food trigger, the module encourages empirical elimination diets and collaboration with dietitians. It is complemented by Module 9, which provides nutritional strategies for implementing these plans.
