Since both you and your husband are experiencing new symptoms simultaneously, it's important to see a doctor right away. Trouble swallowing (dysphagia) and vomiting are both common symptoms of EoE that should be evaluated by a medical professional, especially given your age and the sudden onset.

While food and dietary changes can trigger EoE symptoms, it's critical to get properly diagnosed rather than trying to self-identify triggers. Your symptoms could worsen without proper medical intervention. If you are diagnosed with EoE, your doctor may recommend:
- Allergy testing to identify specific triggers
- An elimination diet to determine if certain foods are causing symptoms
- Prescription medications to reduce inflammation
- Staying well hydrated throughout the day

In the meantime, be sure to drink plenty of water with meals and avoid taking medications without adequate fluid intake, as this can irritate the esophagus further.
