The large intestine plays a key role in the final stages of digestion-absorbing water, forming stool, and storing waste before it’s eliminated. It also helps move waste through the body through coordinated muscle contractions, keeping everything on track.

When this process is disrupted, it can lead to symptoms like constipation or diarrhea.

Eosinophil disorders are marked by an increased number of eosinophils- a type of white blood cell- accumulating in areas where they don’t typically belong, including the esophagus, stomach, and intestines.

Known collectively as eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGIDs), these rare conditions can trigger allergic-type responses and a range of symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, malnutrition, and challenges with growth.
