Causes & Risk For Eosinophilic Esophagitis

Dysphagia

Dysphagia means difficulty in swallowing, and there are two main types of this disorder. In one, the patient feels they can’t begin to swallow, and in the other, they feel that the food is stuck in their throat or high up in their chest. This is called esophageal dysphagia, and it is the type that accompanies eosinophilic esophagitis. It is important for doctors to determine the type of dysphagia because the treatments differ.

Individuals who find it difficult to swallow have a harder time swallowing solids than they do liquids.
