Eosinophilic gastro-intestinal disorder is an uncommon disorder presenting with non-specic gastrointestinal symptoms. It is diagnosed bydemonstrating eosinophilic inltration of gut wall after excluding other causes of eosinophilia. It is likely a hypersensitivity response to foodallergen. The most common symptoms of patients are abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, early satiety, and diarrhoea. It responds well tocorticosteroids. We hereby present two cases – eosinophilic esophagitis and eosinophilic duodenitis- seen in a span of one month, presenting withvague gastro-intestinal symptoms for over a year. Their endoscopic biopsy showed eosinophilic inltration of mucosa. The aim of presenting thecases is to increase awareness of this disorder as high index of suspicion is necessary to diagnose these patients.
