What Is Eosinophilic Esophagitis (ee-eh-sin-eh-FIL-ik eh-sof-eh-JYE-tis?
People with eosinophilic esophagitis have inflammation of the esophagus (the tube that connects the mouth to the stomach). The inflammation happens because of a buildup of immune cells called eosinophils (ee-eh-SIN-oh-fils).
Nemours Children's pediatric gastroenterologists see children who are having problems with their esophagus. Doctors, surgeons, therapists and dietitians are all part of the gastroenterology (GI) treatment team. We offer advanced disease technologies and therapies for EoE. We’re here to help families manage both the physical and emotional aspects of EoE.

What Are the Signs & Symptoms of Eosinophilic Esophagitis?
Children with eosinophilic esophagitis can have:

trouble feeding (in younger children)
trouble swallowing, called dysphagia (in older kids)
belly pain
vomiting
heartburn
What Problems Can Happen?
In some people, eosinophilic esophagitis can lead to:
food impaction (when food gets stuck in the esophagus)
scarring and narrowing of the esophagus (called a stricture)
tears in the esophagus
