Is it okay to take a 7-day break from avoiding wheat and dairy in my EoE diet?

This is not recommended. Dairy and wheat are two of the most common trigger foods for EoE symptoms. Even short-term consumption can trigger inflammation in your esophagus and cause symptom flares. The elimination diet process requires consistent avoidance of trigger foods to be effective. If you're struggling with dietary restrictions, it's better to work with your healthcare team to adjust your eating plan safely while ensuring your nutritional needs are met. A registered dietitian can help develop strategies to maintain your diet while still enjoying food and managing your EoE effectively.
