“…There is evidence of a genetic predisposition to ulcerative colitis (Singer et al 1971, Binder et al 1966 and atopic disorders have been reported to be more common (Hammer et al 1968).There was only one atopic patient in the present study.…”

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 (cod) and peanut. There was no significant difference in the total serum IgE levels and the food specific IgE activity between the two groups.

“…Moreover, in UC patients no Scand J Gastroenterol 2000 (6) correlation was found between the number of circulating and mucosal cells. The last finding confirms that the number of eosinophils in peripheral blood is an imperfect guide to the presence of eosinophils in inflammatory lesions (45).…”

“…For many decades several attempts have been made to find possible environmental antigens triggering mucosal inflammation (1)(2)(3)(4)(5). In this context studies to assess the presence of an allergic condition have been performed considering the family and personal history (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11), using cutaneous prick and patch tests (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13), and giving total or specific serum IgE (9)(10)(11)(13)(14)(15). Unfortunately, this body of data has led to conflicting conclusions, partly due to the use of different numbers or kinds of allergens.…”
