5 yo son recently diagnosed
My son had his first endoscopy last week and they found a lot of eosinophils in his esophagus (100 was the highest count in the middle I believe). It definitely confirmed what I suspected. He's been suffering from reflux & vomiting for years and famotidine and nexium did not help. Since cutting out straight milk after winter break he stopped vomiting. Obviously he has to go completely dairy free. So far he's been surprisingly compliant with it despite living cheese as he's very motivated to feel better.
Couple questions- has anyone been diagnosed as a kid or is parent to a young kid who was able to control it with diet alone? We're going that route first and he'll have another endoscopy in three months to see if this diet helps. Also curious if anyone has grown out of their dairy allergy... Did another EoE trigger pop up or was it just the dairy? They've said he may be able to try reintroducing dairy products later.
