Serum FS-IgG 4 to milk, wheat, soy, egg, and nuts was present at higher levels in EoE, with targeted elimination resulting in 45% histologic remission rate. Serum FS-IgG 4 has potential as a noninvasive biomarker in EoE. When successful, FS-IgG 4 -led elimination diet can negate need for medications and be viewed more favorably by patients because of its smaller endoscopic burden compared with empirical elimination diets.
