Could your toothpaste be harming your esophagus?
NCT ID NCT05482256
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether detergents found in common products like toothpaste can make the lining of the esophagus leaky and cause allergic inflammation, which is a key feature of eosinophilic esophagitis. Researchers tested 12 healthy volunteers by measuring changes in the esophagus after exposure to detergents. The goal was to understand a possible cause of this condition, not to test a treatment.
