Brief description Eosinophilic oesophagitis (EO) is a recently recognised form of allergic inflammation in the oesophagus. EO is increasingly common in childhood and often linked to food allergy. Its treatment in children mainly relies on complex elimination diets or a liquid elemental formula which may require tube feeding due to poor taste. This Australian multi-centre trial will assess the effects of a four-food elimination diet in children with EO and will investigate novel disease mechanisms.
