I haven’t tried any other dietary treatments yet. Is this really the only option? 06:47 What are the other diet options? 08:48 There are so many exclusion diets for EoE! Which should we start with? 14:49 I have been prescribed steroids for my EoE, which diet should I follow? 17:43 Does diet help with other EGIDs? 21:18 How long do I need to exclude the food for? Can I just put it back in after that time and my EoE will be cured? 24:11 Can’t I just have an allergy test to tell me what the food trigger is? 29:36 If I remove all these foods, how do I make sure my diet is adequate? 37:46 A lot of “free from” foods seem like they are ultra-processed foods (UPFs).

What should I do? 01:19:50 I now know that milk is my trigger. How strict do I need to be? Can I have a little bit of chocolate or cake on my birthday? 01:21:23 What’s next if the SFED has not worked?
