Would you consider use of an oral bisphosphonate (such as alendronate liquid) in a patient with eosinophilic esophagitis?

My general approach to patients with any form of esophagitis for whom bisphosphonate therapy is indicated is to treat with zoledronate. I am not aware of any data that has reviewed the use of a liquid form of a bisphosphonate for patients with esophageal disorders including eosinophilic esophagitis, so my treatment advice is "evidence free." I have not seen any unexpected issues with the use of zoledronate among patients with esophagitis and no impact on their esophageal problem attributable to zoledronate.
