Hi, Katie - thank you for reading my article and for reaching out. Did your doctor prescribe the elemental diet? When were you diagnosed with EoE? Do you have food impaction episodes? The elemental diet, as you have discovered, is tough. After week 2, I was fine and never craved "real" food. I'm glad I stuck with it. And my next endoscopy and biopsies revealed zero eosinophils and no more EoE. So it worked after 8 weeks. It's a personal choice. I don't know how severe your EoE is so I cannot advise on whether you should stop the elemental diet and start my diet of eliminating preservatives, additives, food coloring, hormones, antibiotics, steroids, insecticides, and pesticides. My diet also requires discipline and avoiding foods that contain these chemicals. After 8 weeks on my diet, I had up to zero eosinophils, no more EoE, and a healthy esophagus. Did you try the 6-food elimination diet? Have you read my other articles. I also write about the 6-food elimination diet. It did not work for me, but it might work for you. Let me know if you have any questions. Here are my articles. https://www.miriamdiazgilbert.com/post/i-suffered-for-26-years-with-eosinophilic-esophagitis-eoe-and-discovered-its-source-in-12-months
