Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) patients develop adapted eating behaviors to prevent symptoms. These patients tend to cut their food small, chew extensively, take copious liquids with meals, and avoid foods that cause symptoms. No studies to date have directly evaluated these eating behaviors in patients with EoE with observation. Furthermore, none of the investigators' current metrics for patient symptom assessment visually evaluate the eating process nor are they compared before and after treatment. As a result, it is unclear if a patient's subjective perception of their eating difficulties and improvement matches with objective measures.
