Brief Summary: Feeding dysfunction andor dysphagia are the main symptoms of eosinophilic esophagitis EoE Also these symptoms may be a part of sensory processing disorders Therefore the present study compared sensory processing abilities between children with EoE and typically developing TD controls
Detailed Description: Eosinophilic Esophagitis EoE is a chronic allergicimmune condition of the esophagus that affects all ages from infancy through adulthood The chronic inflammation can lead to symptoms that vary with age It is critically important to know symptoms in the infancytoddler period because in this period they cant express symptoms directly The frequent symptoms seen in this period are vomiting refusing sucking and eating failure to thrive and abdominal pain School-aged children with EoE have decreased appetite recurrent abdominal pain vomiting food impaction and dysphagia Feeding dysfunction feeding refusal slowly eating picky eater etc is one of the trouble issues in this period Children who cant experience different texture especially solid and tastes of foods keep on eating with their same safe feeding habits Whereas experiences gained in early childhood period form the basis of sensory and motor development As currently known humans have eight senses visual auditory gustatory olfactory tactile proprioception vestibular and interoception Each sense is unique a form of information and nourishment for the nervous system In the meantime it is crucial to receive interpret and integrate all this information from all these senses at a time Sensory integration SI is the term used for the brain processing information that comes through the senses The SI begins in the womb as the fetal brain senses the movements Childhood activities and play lead to a lot of sensory integration as the child organizes the sensations of his body and gravity along with sight and sound If there is a problem in any sense such as receiving or interpreting the SI process can be interrupted and this may result in sensory processing disorder SPD It is crucial to notice SPD in childhood because SPD can affect a childs development and education learning reading math visual and auditory perception and skilled motor tasks

Food intake is one of the most multi-sensory daily experiences sight smell taste sounds texture of food for both children and adults In children with EoE feeding dysfunction vomiting food impaction regurgitation can affect the oral sensory system Even considering that all the senses work in interaction more senses can be affected

To date there is no study that has investigated sensory processing issues in children with EoE Therefore the present study aimed to compare sensory processing between children with EoE and healthy controls and also examine the correlations between sensory processing and disease characteristics among children with EoE
