Sponsor: Mayo Clinic

Current Primary Outcome: Reliability of patch testing is defined by the elimination or change of eosinophils in the esophagus with the endoscopic biopsies. [ Time Frame: basesline, six weeks, 10 weeks, 14, weeks, 18 weeks, 20 weeks, 22 weeks, 24 weeks ]

As a pilot, 20 patients will be studied to determine the reliability of the allergy patch test (APT) to predict dietary therapy. Reliability of the patch test and dietary therapy will be defined by the endoscopy biopsies.
