More doctoring: Are you working with allergy and GI specialists or just your pediatrician? Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) in an infant or child with gerd and allergies raises the possibility of eosinophilic esophagitis (ee), a relatively newly-defined disorder allergic disorder which resembles but is different from gerd. Diagnosis requires esophageal endoscopy. Talk to your pediatrician about ee.
