Appropriate duration of steroid treatment is unknown and relapse often necessitates long term treatment. Various steroid sparing agents e.g. sodium cromoglycate (a stabilizer of mast cell membranes), ketotifen (an antihistamine), and montelukast (a selective, competitive leukotriene receptor antagonist) have been proposed, centering on an allergic hypothesis, with mixed results. Oral budesonide (an oral steroid) can be useful in treatment, as well. An elimination diet may be successful if a limited number of food allergies are identified.In a randomized clinical trial, lirentelimab was found to improve eosinophil counts and symptoms in individuals with eosinophilic gastritis and duodenitis. Epidemiology
Epidemiology may differ between studies, as number of cases are small, with approximately 300 EG cases reported in published literature. EG can present at any age and across all races, with a slightly higher incidence in males. Earlier studies showed higher incidence in the third to fifth decades of life. Other gastrointestinal conditions associated with allergy
Eosinophilic esophagitis
Eosinophilic ascites
Coeliac disease
Protein losing enteropathy from intolerance to cows milk protein
Infantile formula protein intolerance

Intravenous leiomyomatosis is a rare condition seen exclusively in women in which leiomyomata, benign smooth muscle tumors, are found in veins. The masses are benign-appearing but can spread throughout the venous system leaving the uterus and even cause death when growing into the heart from the IVC. While the possibility that these arose de novo from the smooth muscle in the blood vessel wall was considered, chromosomal analysis suggests a uterine origin. Intravenous leiomyomata are usually but not always associated with uterine fibroids, and tend to recur. This condition is related to benign metastasizing leiomyoma, in which the masses appear in more distant locations such as the lung and lymph nodes. See also
