Bumping up this thread. Here's a link I found from another board on Eosinophilic Disease:

I guess there was a show on Montel October 30th about this too. Here's the blurb from his website:

We’ll talk to Jori, who was diagnosed with Eosinophiliic Disease. Eosinophilic disorders occur when eosinophils, a type of white blood cell, are found in above-normal amounts in various parts of the body. When the body produces too many eosinophils, they can cause chronic inflammation resulting in tissue damage. Jori is allergic to 44 types of food and can only eat meat, potatoes and a few fruits and vegetables. Because Jori is malnourished, her doctors are considering putting her on a feeding tube to provide all of her necessary nourishment. We’ll also talk to Jori’s parents, Ellyn and Fred who are here to discuss their daughter’s disease and a foundation called Cured, which urges research for Eosinophiliic Disease.
