Is it Gastro Oesophageal Reflux Disorder (GORD / GERD) or is it EE Eosinophilic Esophagitis?
The Arkansas Childrens Hospital website has a video recording of a presentation by Chris A. Liacouras, M.D, Professor of Pediatric Gastroenterology. It covers the difficulty in telling the difference between infants with gastro reflux and those who actually have Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EE).
If you are concerned that your childs reflux hasn't resolved or improved with anti-reflux medication then maybe you could ask your consultant about alternative conditions like EE?
Although the video is an hour long, it's really interesting if your child has reflux or EE and gives good explanations about the conditions. The reflux bit is the first 5-30minuts and the EE bit is from 30minutes onwards and you can forward it on to this section.

and it's the fifth one down.
I found it interesting that the presentation suggests that 8-10% with of infants with reflux actually have EE instead. Also, it said that 65-70% with dsypahagia actually have EE.
