NCT ID NCT05543512
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a personalized diet, based on a blood test that identifies food allergies, can help people with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). 56 participants were randomly assigned to either a personalized elimination diet or a sham diet. The goal was to see if the personalized diet could reduce inflammation in the esophagus and improve swallowing symptoms.

personalized diet based on immune signature algorithm
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a more effective, personalized dietary treatment for eosinophilic esophagitis, reducing the need for trial-and-error elimination diets.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study, so results may not apply to everyone. The algorithm may not accurately identify trigger foods, and the diet could be difficult to follow.
