“…Most studies have evaluated overall social and school functioning rather than specific aspects of those domains. Jose et al found that parents of pediatric patients with EoE reported more school avoidance compared to patients without EoE [ 12 ]. Therapy, especially dietary elimination, has been shown to lead to increased worry about embarrassment in social situations [ 13 ].…”

Eosinophilic esophagitis is a chronic, immune-mediated esophageal condition that may lead to impairment of quality of life in pediatric and young adult patients. We performed a prospective, cross-sectional study on 40 patients between the ages of 2-21 years with an established diagnosis of eosinophilic esophagitis. The study evaluated physical, emotional, social, and school functioning in patients undergoing treatment with proton pump inhibitors, dietary elimination, or swallowed corticosteroids. There were no statistically significant differences in total or domain-specific quality of life scores between proton pump inhibitors, dietary elimination, and swallowed corticosteroid therapy. Overall, total and domain-specific quality of life were well-preserved in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis, with the highest scores reported in social functioning. There were also no statistically significant associations between clinical, endoscopic, and histologic features and quality-of-life measures.

“…The common intervention of dietary restriction likely increases worry about foods (by children and their caregivers), as well as fears of embarrassment in social situations 34,39. The specific symptoms most often identified include worry about disease and symptoms, physical symptoms of anxiety and autonomic arousal,40,41 and school avoidance 41. It should be noted that a majority of studies including anxiety as a variable discuss anxiety at the symptom level rather than representing actual anxiety disorders.…”

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a rapidly emerging chronic disease with limited treatments. Impacting both children and adults, EoE and its treatments have the potential to significantly reduce psychological functioning, including increasing anxiety and depression. In this paper, we provide a scoping review of the scientific literature on anxiety and depression in both pediatric and adult patients. We aim to document the current state of research, identify knowledge gaps, recognize unique challenges that EoE patients may face as they relate to psychosocial function, and offer suggestions for future research directions. Based on the current review, both adult and pediatric patients with EoE are at risk for anxiety and depression symptoms, both due to the disease process and the prevailing dietary treatments. Significant gaps exist in the current understanding of anxiety and depression in EoE, providing ample opportunity for future studies to address this important issue.

“…Non-IgE FA has the potential to cause growth failure because of the underlying disease itself or from restricted intake; the cause of which can be multifactorial and may include food aversion, parental hesitation in introducing new foods, and implementation of overly restricted diets. 11,12 Compounding matters further is the multitude of advice from social media platforms and diets downloadable from the Internet.…”

Non-IgE food allergic conditions have the ability to cause significant morbidity and are being increasingly recognized.Food proteineinduced allergic proctocolitis (FPIAP) is a benign self-limited disorder that presents in otherwise healthy infants with bloody stools. Some centers are advocating observation without initial dietary intervention.Food protein enteropathy (FPE) is now an uncommon disorder that is often caused by a single food and associated with iron deficiency, hypoalbuminemia, and growth failure.Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic disorder that can present at any age, and is treatable, but is associated with lower rates of self-resolution.Acute food proteineinduced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) is often caused by a single food, usually not accompanied by fever nor by significant elevations in C-reactive protein, and overall has a good prognosis.Chronic FPIES is rare, has a similar clinical presentation to FPE, but is differentiated by the presence of acute FPIES when the food trigger is reintroduced after a brief period of exclusion.
