An unusual case of eosinophilic gastroenteritis is described, together with its differential diagnosis from allergic enteropathy. Numerous biopsies and other instrumental examinations pointed to small intestine as the only site and eosinophilic enteritis as a suitable classification. Disappearance of the clinical symptoms was obtained with corticosteroid management in the space of 6 months.
