Diet Changes

Many people with eosinophilic gastroenteritis may also have food allergies. In these cases, you may follow one of the following diets to manage the condition:

– Elimination diet: In this diet, you will remove certain foods that may be allergens. These include wheat, tree nuts, soy, shellfish, peanut, milk, fish, and egg. Advise your doctor to ensure you can find suitable alternatives that can provide the body with sufficient nutrients

– Elemental diet: It involves the inclusion of a liquid nutritional formula in the diet. The main goal is to eliminate the potential proteins in foods that would lead to allergies. You need to follow this diet under the guidance of your doctor. [7]
