Allergic Inflammation Study
This study is now recruiting.
The goal of this study is to determine why Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) occurs and attempt to develop new blood tests for this condition. Individuals with known EoE food sensitivities and/or anaphylactic food allergy to milk, egg, wheat, and/or soy are eligible for enrollment as index subjects. IgE and EoE food allergies are to be established by clinical history and/or prior laboratory testing. A related or unrelated control subject will be recruited for each successfully enrolled index subject.
