Causes of Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE)
What Causes Eosinophilic Esophagitis?
Eosinophils are normally present in other parts of your digestive tract. Conditions involving reflux, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), allow stomach contents to spill into your esophagus, which can introduce eosinophils. However, we do not know what causes them to exist in such high numbers.
People with EoE commonly have other allergic conditions, such as irritations inside their nose (rhinitis), asthma and eczema. Food allergies and environmental factors may also cause EoE, but researchers are just beginning to understand these causes.
