Learn how EleCare helped one young patient beat the odds associated with EGIDs and get back to loving life.
Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGIDs) are chronic digestive system disorders in which certain food proteins trigger an overproduction of eosinophils (white blood cells that help fight certain infections) in different areas of the digestive tract.
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE): esophagus
Eosinophilic gastritis (EoG): stomach
Eosinophilic enteritis (EoN): small bowel
Eosinophilic colitis (EoC): colon
Your doctor may be able to identify specific food proteins that trigger the overproduction of eosinophils in your child. Your doctor may recommend an elimination diet where the offending proteins are not consumed and may recommend supplementing with an amino acid-based formula.
The protein in EleCare and EleCare Jr is supplied by amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, instead of intact or hydrolyzed protein.
