Common knowledge amoung some professionals (MD and ND):

1. Probiotics: Probiotics might help modulate gut flora and potentially influence immune responses, which could be relevant in allergic conditions like EoE. Some research suggests that certain probiotics might have a role in managing EoE, but the specific strains, dosages, and effectiveness are still under investigation.

2. Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Omega-3 supplements containing EPA and DHA have anti-inflammatory properties. While their exact impact on EoE is not well-documented, they may have some potential to reduce inflammation, which could theoretically help manage symptoms.

3. Vitamin D: Adequate vitamin D levels are important for immune function and overall health. Some studies suggest a potential link between vitamin D deficiency and increased risk or severity of allergic conditions. However, specific evidence supporting vitamin D supplementation for EoE is limited.

4. Quercetin: Quercetin, a flavonoid found in some fruits and vegetables, has anti-inflammatory properties. It might have a theoretical role in managing allergic conditions like EoE, but its specific impact on EoE requires further investigation.

5. Digestive Enzymes: In some cases, digestive enzyme supplements might be used to help break down food proteins and alleviate symptoms associated with EoE. However, their use should be guided by healthcare professionals.
