Yup, Eosinophilic Gastroenteristis, like I said in my post.
 
Why do you say it is separate?  It appears that the symptoms are similar,
from what I've seen described, and some have referred to IBD as an
auto-immune disease, which EG may be as well.  Could some cases of EG be
diagnosed as IBD, especially if no biopsy is performed?  Is that not
possible?
