Did you perhaps have H. Pylori and your antibiotics eliminated it?

I was also diagnosed with EoE recently - my understanding is that it also causes symptoms that feel like reflux, but aren’t. Very occasionally I might actually have a bit of reflux (evidenced by a bit of regurgitation), but the burning sensation that I used to attribute to reflux I now attribute to EoE instead.

Seems worse when I’ve recently been eating my trigger foods (mostly dairy). Sucks not being able to eat cheese :(




I suspect thats the case, but EoE became a thing for me within months of that ordeal so I suspect there is a connection. My EoE symptoms are difficulty swallowing and esophageal spasms. I have access to oral budesonide which does stop it however it elevates my heart rate.
