The greatest barrier was the belief that patients are disinterested and unlikely to adhere (58%). With less access to dietitians (56%), nonacademic providers often manage diets without dietitian guidance (41%).<h4>Discussion</h4>Given high patient acceptance for diets and multiple treatment options for EoE, clinicians need evidence-based knowledge on EoE diets, access to dietitians, and awareness of patient preferences.The American journal of gastroenterologyProvider Beliefs, Practices, and Perceived Barriers to Dietary Elimination Therapy in Eosinophilic Esophagitis.PMC9722505U54 AI117804U2C TR002818K23 DK129784Gonsalves NDellon ESChang JWFuruta GTGupta SKKatzka DAPeterson KAKliewer KfalseProvider Beliefs, Practices, and Perceived Barriers to Dietary Elimination Therapy in Eosinophilic Esophagitis.<h4>Introduction</h4>Despite effective dietary treatments, physicians prefer medications for eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE).<h4>Methods</h4>We conducted a web-based survey of providers to assess the perceived effectiveness, practice patterns, and barriers to EoE dietary therapy.<h4>Results</h4>Providers view diet as the least effective treatment.
