Summary

This small pilot study will test whether proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) improve the flexibility of the esophagus in 10 people with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Researchers will use a special balloon device to measure stiffness in both the upper and lower esophagus before and after treatment. The goal is to see if reducing inflammation also helps the esophagus stretch and function better.
