What Could High Eosinophil Levels With Digestive Issues Suggest?
I have been having digestive issues for over a year with severe pressure between my shoulders and constipation. My bilirubin was elevated for months and is now normal but my eosinophils are now double what they should be. What questions can I ask my dr to make him take my questions more serious. Ovarian cancer and pancreatic cancer run in my family.

Hi
I appreciate your concern
high eosinophil count with gastrointestinal symptoms are suggestive of parasitic infection
please ask for stool test for ova or cyst of the parasite
since your bilirubin was high , I would ask for liver enzymes like sgot and sgpt
it could be amoebic liver infection or clonorchis sinensis infection
Hope I have answered your question
fell free to ask for further information
thanks for using health care magic
Wish you good health
