Serum FS- IgG4 to milk, wheat, soy, egg and nuts were present at higher levels in EoE, with targeted elimination resulting in 45% histologic remission rate. Serum FS-IgG4 has potential as a non-invasive biomarker in EoE. When successful, FS-IgG4-led elimination diet can negate need for medications and be viewed more favourably by patients due to its smaller endoscopic burden compared to empirical elimination diets.
