Eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EG) is a rare disorder characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the gastrointestinal tract. No medication at present is approved by the Food and drug administration of United States for the treatment of EG. The rarity of the disease limits our experience with the different management options. It also limits the ability to conduct randomized controlled trials that could clearly delineate the efficacy of new therapeutic agents. This review assesses the various management options that have been tried on patients with EG.
