Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EOE) Care in Dallas
Finding Relief at Gabrielle Grandell
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EOE) is a complex immune-mediated disorder that affects the esophageal tissue, causing inflammation and irritation. This condition can lead to troublesome symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, coughing, and in severe cases, potential internal bleeding if left untreated.
Gabrielle Grandell, BSc, FMCHC, CLT, is proud to offer a comprehensive and holistic approach to managing EOE. Her focus is on calming the immune system’s overreaction and healing the damaged esophageal lining through dietary and lifestyle changes, rather than relying solely on medications.
Understanding EOE
EOE is believed to be triggered by a combination of factors, including:
- Food allergies and sensitivities
- Genetic predisposition
- Environmental exposures
The diagnosis of EOE typically involves an endoscopy and biopsy to detect elevated levels of eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) in the esophageal tissue. Additional tests, such as blood work and stool analysis, can help identify markers of the condition.
The primary approach to reaching symptom resolution involves identifying and eliminating trigger foods and improving digestive function through:
- Customized elimination diets
- Food sensitivity and allergy testing
- Gut microbiome testing
Common trigger foods often include dairy, wheat, eggs, soy, nuts, and corn. The Gut Goddess works closely with clients to develop a tailored nutrition plan that addresses their unique needs and sensitivities.
To support the healing of inflamed esophageal tissue, Gabrielle may recommend carefully selected supplements such as:
- Marshmallow root
- Aloe vera
- DGL
- Zinc
- Vitamin C
These natural remedies can help soothe and protect the esophagus, promoting healing and reducing discomfort.
In addition to dietary changes, The Gut Goddess emphasizes the importance of:
- Stress management techniques
- Mindful eating practices
- Consuming easy-to-swallow foods like smoothies, soups and broths
These lifestyle modifications can provide significant relief for those suffering from EOE and improve overall quality of life.
