Description
Marta Joanna Borys and colleagues follow nutrition and growth in children with eosinophilic esophagitis in a 2026 study. Fifty children diagnosed before age eighteen were tracked for at least a year, with height and body mass scores charted over an average of about two years of follow-up.
At diagnosis, one in five children had impaired nutrition, split between moderate malnutrition and obesity. Malnutrition eased by follow-up, while obesity grew more common. Height scores stayed broadly stable throughout. The disease inflames the swallowing tube and often brings restrictive eating, so both under- and over-nutrition can follow. Pediatric gastroenterology teams are urged to monitor the full weight spectrum, not only thinness. Diet management that swaps trigger foods for calorie-dense substitutes may explain part of the obesity drift.
