What is Eosinophilic Colitis?
Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGIDs) are rare conditions that affect the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. EGIDs can occur in infants, children, and adults.
Eosinophilic Colitis (EC) occurs when eosinophils gather in the large intestine (colon). This then causes redness, swelling, and damage in the intestines. It is important to discuss all symptoms with a healthcare provider. A full medical history helps provide an accurate diagnosis and guide successful treatment options. Early diagnosis can also help provide symptom relief and better overall health.
