Table 3.

Food triggers of EoE identified by histology and/or symptoms. Histological remission and recurrence is defined as peak eos <10/hpf and ≥ 10/hpf respectively.

Food Triggers	Confirmed*	Probable**	Total
Milk	29	11	40
Wheat	7	5	12
Egg	7	3	10
Beef	4	6	10
Corn	5	4	9
Soy	3	6	9
Seafood	0	5	5
Nuts	1	3	4
Rice	1	0	1
Beans	1	0	1

^*A confirmed food trigger is a food that causes recurrence of disease after its reintroduction, or its single avoidance leads to histologic remission.

^**A probable trigger is a food that causes worsening of symptoms during reintroduction (but no histological assessment), or it is part of the 2–3 food elimination diet that led to remission (but no further reintroduction was conducted). For example, if a patient achieved histological remission with milk and wheat elimination diet, he/she may not want to pursue further reintroduction and simply avoid both milk and wheat.
