Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease (EGID) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are two distinct disorders that share some clinical manifestations but have different diagnostic criteria. In this article, we reviewed the clinical data of three children with EGID who later developed IBD. This study is a retrospective case note review that was conducted between 2007 and 2012. EGID seems to precede IBD in some subsets of children in whom the diagnosis of IBD may take a few years to fully develop.
