First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at a newly identified condition called FIRE (Food Induced Immediate Response of the Esophagus) in children with eosinophilic esophagitis. Researchers want to find out how common FIRE is and describe its symptoms, like chest pain or choking within minutes of eating certain foods. The study will involve 40 children aged 6 to 17 who are already being treated for eosinophilic esophagitis.

- If successful, this study could help doctors better recognize and diagnose FIRE syndrome in children with eosinophilic esophagitis.
- What could go wrong
