Dr. Venter describes the role of elemental diets in the management of EoE, including practical guidance on how to initiate these diets and support compliance for efficacy. Finally, Dr. Venter discusses the role of the microbiome in EoE and how it correlates with disease activity. Presented by Carina Venter, PhD, RD.
