- Inflammation
Biopsy may show chronic inflammation. Eosinophils should be carefully sought when chronic inflammation is seen. No consensus recommendations on definition or diagnosis. [apfed.org]
EG is having too many eosinophils in the stomach, causing pain and inflammation. [blog.cincinnatichildrens.org]
These cells release a chemical that causes inflammation. With EG, the inflammation starts or continues even though it is not needed. Over time this can lead to tissue damage, ulcers, and polyps in the colon. It is not clear what causes EG. [lahey.org]
EG is thought of as a relapsing and remitting disease whereby the inflammation may return if therapy is discontinued. [seedcenteratl.org]

Serum
- Eosinophils Increased
The increased number of eosinophils can damage the heart, lungs, liver, skin, and nervous system. [msdmanuals.com]
When triggered by allergies, infection, or cancer, eosinophils increase in number and become active. In the short-term, this response is important and effective in ridding the body of intruders. [badgut.org]
As eosinophils normally increase in response to parasites, this would likely not be an effective therapy for eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGIDs). [cincinnatichildrens.org]

Treatment
One of the main treatments is to eliminate the foods that are causing the reaction. Diagnosis, treatment and understanding of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), the most common EGID, has improved greatly in the last decade. [blog.cincinnatichildrens.org]
The symptoms disappeared just after beginning steroid treatment. After 7 days of steroid treatment, the eosinophil count decreased to 7.1%. It was important to judge the necessity of surgical treatment at that time. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology
The disease is highly responsive to dietary restriction therapies in children, implicating an allergic etiology. Associated EoE is more resistant to therapy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
However, etiological emphasis is given to an allergic reaction. Other etiologies suggested are chronic inflammation and foreign body reaction. [ijpmonline.org]

Prevention There are no current steps to prevent EG because the cause is not clear. References Eosinophilic gastritis. National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) website. [lahey.org]
MAINTENANCE AND RELAPSE PREVENTION Although the cessation attempt is relatively straightforward when patients are motivated to quit, data suggest that maintenance strategies and relapse prevention techniques must be considered from the start. [consultant360.com]
