Provider Beliefs, Practices, and Perceived Barriers to Dietary Elimination Therapy in Eosinophilic Esophagitis
INTRODUCTION:
Despite effective dietary treatments, physicians prefer medications for eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE).
METHODS:
We conducted a web-based survey of providers to assess the perceived effectiveness, practice patterns, and barriers to EoE dietary therapy.
RESULTS:
Providers view diet as the least effective treatment. The greatest barrier was the belief that patients are disinterested and unlikely to adhere (58%). With less access to dietitians (56%), non-academic providers often manage diets without dietitian guidance (41%).
CONCLUSIONS:
Given high patient acceptance for diets and multiple treatment options for EoE, clinicians need evidence-based knowledge on EoE diets, access to dietitians, and awareness of patient preferences
