Dietary Allergy and Specific IgE in Ulcerative Colitis

Abstract: Summary: Previous authors have considered that allergy to certain foodstuffs may play an important role in the aetiology of ulcerative colitis, but immunological evidence for dietary allergy in ulcerative colitis is inconclusive. A study is reported of 22 patients with ulcerative colitis, with matched controls, in whom total serum IgE and specific IgE to certain foodstuffs have been estimated by the Phadebas PRIST and RAST (Pharmacia) techniques. Allergens tested were egg-white, milk, wheat, rye, oat, fish (co… Show more

“…Overall these data are in agreement with those obtained by Pepys et al [7] and by Mee et al [6] using inhalant allergens. Also in keeping with previous reports [6,21,22] is the absence of any increase in total serum IgE levels in IBD patients compared to control subjects.…”

“…Most previous studies has correlate with this study and all of them indicated the dairy allergy between patients with ulcerative colitis and this is very important for treatment of these patients. At the end of, however, in the old studies likes D B Jones and Brignola C, results denied the existence of the food allergy, especially dairy allergy among UC patients, but in new study like this study, there is a significant relationship between dairy allergy and ulcerative colitis [ 29 ].…”

“…However, contrary to earlier observations [23][24][25]45] disodium cromoglycate, which inhibits the release of histamine from human mast cells, does not improve CUC [3,17,18]. IgE concentrations in serum and intestinal fluid are not strik ingly altered [3,15] and circulating IgE anti bodies specific to milk proteins are not found [14], The data on IgE containing immunocytes in the intestinal mucosa in CUC appear confusing [3,[19][20][21] with no correlation with severity, duration, treatment of CUC [19] or use of a milk-free diet [22]. The role of reaginic antibodies in the pathogenesis of CUC requires further clarification.…”
