What is an eosinophil? and why do they hurt me?

A type of white blood cell whose main purpose is to fight off foreign substances that are harmful to your body. Eosinophils will migrate to the area in the body where the foreign substance is in order to attack it. In people with eosinophilic disorders, food is mistaken as the harmful foreign substance. In my case, the eosinophils grow in his esophagus in order to serve as a first line of defense against food and drink that I swallow. This causes pain that some have compared to a miror heartattack, and makes it impossible for me to live a "normal"life
