Yes. My son has been diagnosed with it just recently. Once a very rare disease, recent years have seen cases in North America more than tripple. Essentially, it is an allergic reaction to foods within the oesophagus.

It is treatable, with a number of medications and if need be elemental diets and the slow introduction of food types until the allergin is detected.
