My child has 'suspected' Eosinophilic Disorder. Mostly used to be 'gut trouble'. Now having loads of skin infections. Anyone else the same?

Children with EGID are often IgA deficient. Immunoglobulin A coats the inside of the intestine AND the surface of the skin, so many have skin infections (my kids have constant impetigo off prophylactic antibiotics) alongside their gut troubles.
