Could a Dairy-Free shake help kids with EoE feel better?
NCT ID NCT07234825
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a dairy-free diet combined with a special liquid nutrition drink (Kate Farms formula) can help children with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) achieve remission. EoE is a condition where the esophagus becomes inflamed, often due to food allergies. The trial will enroll 36 children aged 1 to 21 and will compare the dairy-free diet plus formula against a dairy-free diet alone. Researchers will check for improvements in symptoms, inflammation, and gut health over three months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Kate Farms Standard 1.2 formula (a plant-based, dairy-free liquid nutrition drink)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a new dietary option to help children with eosinophilic esophagitis reach remission without relying solely on medication.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early feasibility study with only 36 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Dietary changes can be hard to stick with, and the formula may cause digestive discomfort.
