Provider Beliefs, Practices, and Perceived Barriers to Dietary Elimination Therapy in Eosinophilic Esophagitis. Official Journal of the American College of Gastroenterology | ACG, 117(12), 2071. https://doi.org/10.14309/ajg.0000000000001988https://hdl.handle.net/1805/40442INTRODUCTION: Despite effective dietary treatments, physicians prefer medications for eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). METHODS: We conducted a web-based survey of providers to assess the perceived effectiveness, practice patterns, and barriers to EoE dietary therapy. RESULTS: Providers view diet as the least effective treatment. The greatest barrier was the belief that patients are disinterested and unlikely to adhere (58%). With less access to dietitians (56%), non-academic providers often manage diets without dietitian guidance (41%). CONCLUSIONS: Given high patient acceptance for diets and multiple treatment options for EoE, clinicians need evidence-based knowledge on EoE diets, access to dietitians, and awareness of patient preferences.en-USPublisher Policyeosinophilic esophagitis (EoE)dietary treatmentsmedicationsadherencepatient preferencesArticle
