Not Applicable
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Eosinophilic Esophagitis
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: Esophageal String Test (EST)
Other: Colgate
Diagnostic Test: High Resolution Esophageal Manometry (HREM)
Registration Number
NCT05482256
Lead Sponsor
Mayo Clinic
Brief Summary

The purpose of this research is to determine if detergents in everyday products such as toothpaste make the lining of the esophagus leaky and cause allergic inflammation.
