Endoscopy/ Colonoscopy - Result eosinophiclic enteritis - ?????

[Guest guest]

Hi

My little boy had an Endos/ Colonoscopy 6 weeks ago and I have just

received the report of the biopsy. It suggests he has eosinophiclic

enteritis.

They didn't find much wrong anywhere else apart from the caecum and

transverse colon, here is the part that it is really worrying me:

" Sections from the ileum and rectum were within normal limits.

Sections from the caecum and transverse colon showed mild nom

specific inflammation with infiltrate containing a prominent number

of eosinophils, which raises the possibility of the diagnosis of

eosinophiclic enteritis. " The Gastroenterologist sent me the report

with a return appointment for August. I just can't believe it!

When I put that condition in the search in googles, it did not look

good. My little one fits in (but it also fits many of our children?).

I am not sure on what to think. My little boy has been getting more

and more limited with what is is allowed to eat. At the moment he can

just have around 10 different foods. So, the prognosis is that he may

get to a point where is is tub fed???? Has anyone in the group had

any experience like that? I try to reassure me that doctor don't

know much about autism and what comes with it. I always have

associated

his problems yeast related but apparently children with this problem

can't get rid of intestinal infection.

Any suggestions? I know there are people in this group very

knowledgeable,

Thanks
