Do you have Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) and are looking for a treatment method? Have you been on various therapies for EoE, but they aren’t working and you want to try something else? Watch this video to learn about some new methods for treating EoE!

While not FDA Approved, certain steroids have been clinically tested to see if they will help EoE patients. There are two that I discuss in this video that have shown success. Two of the first things you might be thinking are - is it bad for your esophagus to use steroids and are there any side effects. We will talk about that. What it you have conditions like herpes - should you avoid these steroids?

You may also wonder why these steroids have not been FDA approved for EOE and if there have been steps in that direction. I'll explain that process.

Additionally, I will describe how clinicians studied and suggested how these steroids be dosed, how they should be taken, how long it takes for them to work, and how long they should be used for. Let's also talk about what other steps need to be taken - like oral hygiene and endoscopies. Finally, I discuss whether relapse can happen and what you can do in that event.
