Eosinophilic Gastro Intestinal Disease. Hard to learn to say. Yet all these kids can say it. It effects any part of their digestive tract. The only way to diagnose this disease is by an endoscopy or colonoscopy and taking biopsies. Once the diagnosis has been made, regular endoscopies or colonoscopies are required, about every 2 – 4 months to keep an eye on the damage. Treatments range from steriods to taking all food out of the diet and them living on a formula, either by drinking it or by a feeding tube. One can costs $ 51.00. A lot of insurance companies won't cover it. When your child needs more than a can a day, that's a lot of money. Please comment and ask questions. The more awareness we can provide, the faster our children will have a cure
