Question:
I spoke with my GI doc and got the results of my colonoscopy biopsy... EOSINOPHILIC COLITIS... Crohn's could not be ruled out at this time. He said it's an extremely high Eosinophil count (yeast) in the intestinal tract, but will be treated with IBS meds, due to the ulceration of the small bowel. Doc didn't seem to have much information for me.
Answer:
Looked in my husband's nursing dictionary and it says that Eosinophils are leukocytes and that they constitute 1 per cent to 3 per cent of white blood cells of the body. They increase in number with allergy and some infections. I gather they are present with inflammatory conditions.
