Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorders Registry
The purpose of this study is to learn more about Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorders (EGIDs). With this registry we hope to find out more about the symptoms that patients have during their treatment, the quality of life they have with the diagnosis, what the disease looks like throughout the different treatment methods, and if there is a connection between EGIDs and connective tissue disorders. The goal of this study is to be able to better understand EGIDs and use information gained from all the information collected on this study for more precise treatments in the future. We want to create a large collection of samples, called a biorepository, to learn the most about EGIDs...

Eosinophilic Oesophagitis Assessment With String Testing
Eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE) is an inflammatory condition of the oesophagus (food pipe) that can lead to difficulty swallowing and to food to getting stuck and has become increasingly common over the past 40 years. EoE is triggered by a protein in the diet but alterations to the types of bacteria (microbiome) in the oesophagus may also be involved. EoE is diagnosed with gastroscopy (a thin camera test via the mouth) where 6 tiny samples (biopsies) are taken. Treatment is either with removing food groups from the diet or medications including steroids (budesonide) or a proton pump inhibitor (PPI, omeprazole). The aim is to improve symptoms and to stop scar tissue forming that...

EPAP, Interviewstudy
The goal of this observational study is to learn about repetitive anaphylactic reactions in food allergic patients and to compare the frequency of repetitive reactions between different elicitors in food allergic patients. The main question it aims to answer are: • Is there an elicitor specific difference in the occurrence of anaphylactic reactions once the elicitor has been identified and the patient received counselling about its avoidance? Participants will answer questionnaires via a link they will receive via e-mail at baseline and 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after inclusion in the study.

Epigenetic Effects in Children With Cow's Milk Allergy Treated With Different Formulas
Lactobacillus GG (LGG) is able to exert long lasting effects in children with atopic disorders. Nutramigen LGG accelerates tolerance acquisition in infants with cow's milk allergy. The mechanisms of these effects are still largely undefined. The effect of LGG could be related at least in part by the immunoregulatory role played by LGG. This probiotic can balance the generation of cytokines possibly involved in IgE- or non-IgE-mediated cow's milk allergy Interleulkin (IL)-4, IL-5, IL-10, IFN-γ , TGF-β, and TNF-Υ), which can contribute to modulation of inflammatory processes. The investigators have demonstrated that children with IgE-mediated CMA produce significantly higher...

Esophageal String Test Monitoring to Monitor Eosinophilic Esophagitis During Oral Immunotherapy
Patients with IgE mediated food Allergy have elevated risk of eosinophilic esophagitis, and new therapies like oral immunotherapy (OIT) carry additional risk of Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE). The goal of this study is to investigate the Esophageal String Test (EST) as a screening tool for Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) during OIT therapy. Investigators will compare the efficacy of the Esophageal String Test to symptom assessment using a validated patient reported symptom questionnaire, the Pediatric Eosinophilic Esophagitis Symptom Score (PEESS) v2.0. Investigators will utilize these tools to screen patients at their baseline visit prior to the start of OIT, then at the 3- and...

Evaluating Adrenal Insufficiency in Adults With Eosinophilic Esophagitis on Chronic Swallowed Topical Steroids
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), a chronic inflammatory disease of the esophagus, is a clinical and financial burden to patients if left untreated. Often the natural history of the disease includes development of fibrosis and stricturing of the esophagus, acute food impactions, unplanned emergency room visits, and invasive procedures such as endoscopy. Currently there are no Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved medications for the treatment of EoE. As such, pharmacologic options approved for use in asthma are used for treatment of EoE and include proton pump inhibitors and swallowed topical steroids. These medications are prescribed chronically as EoE is considered a lifelong...

Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Oral Encapsulated Microbiota Transplantation Therapy in Peanut Allergic Patients
This is a phase II randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial that aims at evaluating the safety and tolerability of oral encapsulated fecal microbial transplantation therapy (MTT) in peanut allergic patients. In this research the investigators would like to learn more about ways to treat peanut allergies. The primary objective is to evaluate whether MTT with antibiotic pretreatment can increase the threshold of peanut reactivity during a double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge from <=100 mg peanut protein to 300 mg after 28 days of MTT /placebo therapy and 4 months post therapy initiation.

Evaluation of the Efficacy of Oral Immunotherapy with Raw Apple in Patients Allergic to Birch Pollen and Apple: Prospective, Multicenter, Comparative Phase III Study
Apple-birch pollen-food allergy syndrome is particularly common in Northern and Central Europe (70% of patients allergic to birch pollen), and classically induces an oral syndrome that impairs patients' quality of life. Current treatment is based on food avoidance. However, evidence of the efficacy of this treatment is limited (small numbers, lack of validation with a control group, absence of double-blind evaluation of the primary endpoint in a challenge test against placebo). The aim of oral immunotherapy with raw apple is to improve the management of allergic patients by enabling them to acquire tolerance to raw apple and other rosacea.
