Eosinophilic Disorders... Made simple

This is a video that I created about Eosinophilic disorders. I figured that you either was wondering what it was, or randomly came across my video. Either way, I hope you find it educational. If you have any questions about EOS, I'd be happy to answer them to the best of my ability.

Actually, eosinophilic disorders don't JUST cause damage to the digestive system. I have hypereosinophilic syndrome & mine attacked my lungs and circulatory system. Other people have skin issues or heart issues.

@klsheaffer33 I'm sorry if my video offended you... at the time I made this video, I was new to EOS, and I just wanted something that would explain my disease to others. I understand that it effects much much more than the digestive system. Just recently, the EOS center from which I recieve treatment tested me because they thought I was having lung problems and bone deterioration due to extreme amounts of eosinophils in my blood. I'm sorry my video offended you.

After 5 years I now suspect that my problems are rooted in an eosinophilic disorder. I know I have digestive and skin problems I never had before, and no doctor would take the time to think of this....in fact my PCP never heard of this. When a curious doctor finally did a full blood work analysis on me my EOS levels were about 900, which is high but not extremely high. I suspect allergies to be the cause, but I'm still in the dark about how to stop it.

@HedgeHuggerGal Nope...you didn't offend me at all! sorry if my comment made it seem that way. I've just been feeling pretty defeated because I was diagnosed with this disease that now attacked my heart as well with a pericardial effusion, and I haven't had any luck finding anyone with those same issues as me. I've come across a lot of stories about people with the digestive issues from it, but no one with pulmonary or cardiac issues like I'm having. But I wasn't offended at all! :o)

how do you get that disease anyway

[ClarissaNoelle]

An elemental diet is NOT salt and sugar! I have this disease. An elemental diet is Amino acids and vitamins. I am allergic to sugar. And I have Eosinophilc damage to my esophagus, stomache, small intestine and colon.
