Hi Tallis, sorry for the late reply.
Given the symptoms as well as the eosinophil count there would be valid
reasons to looking into Eosinophilic Gastro Intestinal Disease (EGID),
specifically Eosinophilic Colitis. Although there is no definite answer for
what number of eosinophils on biopsy constitutes a diagnosis of EGID it
generally appears to be an eosinophil count above 24 per HPF.
The lead in the world for this seems to be Dr Putnam at Cincinnati
Children's Hospital Memorial Center (CCHMC).

If you want to discuss this situation then Sean Jameson is the Clinical
Research Co-ordinator at the Cincinnati Centre for Eosinophilic Disorders at
CCHMC. He's a lovely guy and takes the time to talk to you.

These sites would be worth having a look at.
