Is Milk Elimination Enough? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of One-Food Elimination Diet in Eosinophilic Esophagitis

Background/objectives

Dietary management, particularly through food elimination, has emerged as an effective therapeutic strategy for eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). In this context, a one-food elimination diet (1-FED) targeting cow's milk has been proposed as a targeted and less restrictive alternative to broader elimination approaches. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to systematically assess the effectiveness of 1-FED in achieving histological remission and to compare its efficacy with broader elimination diets in patients with EoE.
