Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review presents the available data regarding efficacy of nutritional therapy, highlighting clinical decision points and a strategy for reintroduction of foods following an elemental diet for treatment of eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders. RECENT FINDINGS: Elemental and empiric elimination diets are highly effective treatments for eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases. Standardization in the reintroduction phase, after utilizing the diet for disease remission, is lacking. Clinicians are confronted with multiple challenges regarding the best practice for food reintroduction and identification of potential dietary triggers including order of foods being challenged and duration between endoscopic procedures. Individualization is required for preference and adherence to optimize quality of life and treatment success for this burdensome and life altering immune driven gastrointestinal disorder. Age specific concerns for children, teenagers, and adults should be assessed using a patient centric approach.
