What are the symptoms of eosinophilic esophagitis?

People with eosinophilic esophagitis may have symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation, chest pain and trouble swallowing. Adolescents and adults with eosinophilic esophagitis will complain of having swallowing problems from time to time. Infants and young children may develop feeding disorders, leading to poor weight gain.

In a small number of cases, eosinophilic esophagitis leads to the development of an extremely narrowed esophagus. As a result, food may get stuck in the esophagus and need emergency removal.
