Scripps 2nd Eosinophilic Esophagitis & Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorders Symposium 2026
The Scripps 2nd Eosinophilic Esophagitis & Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorders Symposium 2026 delivers a focused and clinically relevant update on the evolving landscape of eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases, with particular emphasis on eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and related EGIDs.
This advanced educational program brings together leading experts in gastroenterology, allergy/immunology, pathology, and multidisciplinary digestive disease care to review current evidence, emerging therapies, diagnostic innovations, and practical management strategies for these increasingly recognized inflammatory disorders.
As awareness and diagnosis of EoE and EGIDs continue to rise in both pediatric and adult populations, clinicians must stay current with rapidly changing approaches to:
- endoscopic evaluation,
- histopathologic interpretation,
- dietary management,
- biologic therapies,
- and minimally invasive monitoring technologies.
Through expert-led lectures, panel discussions, and complex case-based reviews, participants gain practical guidance for improving diagnostic accuracy, personalizing treatment plans, and optimizing long-term outcomes in patients with eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease.

Core Topics Covered
Pathogenesis & Disease Mechanisms
The symposium begins with a detailed review of eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease pathophysiology, including:
- Immune-mediated inflammation
- Fibrostenotic remodeling
- Esophageal dysfunction
- Chronic inflammatory pathways
- Reversibility of fibrotic disease features
Participants explore how advances in disease biology are influencing treatment strategies and therapeutic development.
Dietary Management & Elimination Therapy
Diet-based therapy remains a cornerstone of EoE management, and the course reviews:
- Single-food elimination diets
- Six-food elimination diets
- Nutritional considerations
- Dietary response monitoring
- Personalized nutrition strategies
Faculty discuss practical implementation challenges and evidence supporting different elimination approaches.
Medical Therapy for EoE
Comprehensive pharmacologic management topics include:
- Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)
- Swallowed topical corticosteroids
- Biologic therapy
- Emerging small molecule therapies
- Long-term disease control strategies
Sessions review current evidence for:
- treatment efficacy,

- symptom control,
- and prevention of fibrostenotic progression.
Biologics & Emerging Therapies
Advanced therapeutic updates focus on:
- Current biologic agents in EoE
- Cytokine-targeted therapy
- Emerging immune-modulating treatments
- Novel anti-inflammatory approaches
- Future directions in precision medicine for EGIDs
Participants gain insight into the rapidly expanding role of biologic therapy in refractory and complex eosinophilic disease management.
Advanced Diagnostic & Monitoring Technologies
A major focus of the symposium is modern diagnostic innovation in EoE and EGIDs.
Topics include:
- Transnasal Endoscopy (TNE)
- EndoFlip technology
- Esophageal String Test
- Functional esophageal assessment

Why This Course Matters
Eosinophilic esophagitis and related EGIDs have become increasingly important causes of chronic gastrointestinal symptoms, dysphagia, and esophageal remodeling in both children and adults. At the same time, rapid advances in biologic therapy, dietary management, and minimally invasive monitoring technologies are transforming the way these disorders are diagnosed and treated.
This symposium provides a clinically practical and multidisciplinary review of current EoE and EGID management, helping healthcare professionals integrate emerging evidence into patient-centered care.
Its combination of advanced diagnostics, pathology, therapeutics, and collaborative management strategies makes it highly relevant for clinicians involved in modern eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease care.
