How does eosinophilic esophagitis produce dysphagia?

Eosinophilic esophagitis decreases the knack of the esophagus to stretch for swallowed food.  It is a result of copious eosinophils.  Maybe because of some scaring that occurs on the barrier of the esophagus.


As a result, constant foods (particularly resolute meats) have difficulty passing through the esophagus. When resolute mess sticks in the esophagus, it causes an distress on the chest.  The sticking of food mark the esophagus and is referred to being dysphagia.

If the solid table thus passes into the stomach, the languour subsides to further resume eating. If the solid food does not shift to the stomach, people often must regurgitate by regard, vomiting before they resume eating.

Rarely, the stubborn food becomes impacted, that is, can neither pass into the intestines nor be regurgitated. The impacted brick wall board causes chest irratation that emulates a heart attack and habitual spitting up of saliva that cannot be swallowed because of the obstruction in the esophagus. Individuals are unable to eat or drink.

To relieve the obstruction, indivuals will need to see a doctor to remove from the esophagus the impacted food.
