What did work for him?

A procedure to inflate the esophagus (during endo) and topical steroids

Topical how- swallowed flovent?

My child has EoE and used swallowed flovent for years and it never really controlled the EoE. Just moved to a new gastroenterologist who recommended replacing the swallowed flovent with high dose of omeprazole (40mg twice a day). After reading your posts I’m now concerned if that was not a good switch.

PP, who is your new gastro? My young adult child was diagnosed with EoE 10 yrs ago and also was put on swallowed flovent which has never really controlled it. At his last allergist appt it was suggested he could switch to dupixent but the allergist said that requires daily self-injection and it isnt clear which insurance companies are covering it yet.
