Grace,

When I heard the response I asked in what way were they not doing well. I was told that most of the eosinophil kids still had some GI symptoms and possibly weight loss or poor growth. I think that we have found the answer for my son with removing the foods he is allergic to in addition to gluten. Growth is not an issue for him and he has not even missed one day of middle school this year (a personal best for him since 2nd grade).

Karen, from what I have read it seems eosinophils can be elevated due to allergic response or from parasites. We used this lab to do the delayed IgG food allergy test http://www.optimumhealthresource.com/ I think that working with a nutritionist was also very helpful.
