Clinical Trial: Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) Responsive Eosinophilic Esophagitis EoE: Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) or Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE)?

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Observational




Official Title: PPI Responsive Esophageal Eosinophilia: GERD or Eosinophilic Esophagitis?

Brief Summary:

The investigators would like to determine if there are patients with PPI responsive Eosinophilic Esophagitis Infiltration that have significant loss of esophageal distensibility suggestive of esophageal fibrosis typical of classic Eosniophilic Esophagitis.

If this group of patients exists, the investigators would like to determine if they have the typical endoscopic features of EoE rather than those of GERD.
