Management of diarrhoeic type of irritable bowel syndrome with exclusion diet and disodium cromoglycate

Abstract: Several studies have stressed the role of food intolerance as one of the major factors in the pathogenesis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The purpose of this study was to determine the proportion of patients with IBS that can respond well to an exclusion diet with/without oral disodium cromoglycate and to document the effects of this combination. We selected 120 ambulatory patients with diarrhoeic type IBS; 66 of them (55%) had a concomitant food intolerance (assessed by skin prick test), showing a positiv… Show more

“…Positive skin prick testing for common food antigens has been reported in up to a third of patients with IBS and these patients have been reported to respond better to elimination diet and type I hypersensitivity inhibitors such as sodium cromoglycate 103. These results need confirming before definitive conclusions can be drawn 104. It should be recognised that in only a minority of cases is the patient's beliefs confirmed objectively, so some of their response must be psychologically determined.…”

“…Six months later, DSCG was associated with reduced release of tryptase from jejunal biopsies, reduced expression of TLR2 and TLR4, and improved bowel function (52,53). In an earlier study of 66 IBS-D patients with food intolerance assessed by skin prick test, DSCG (250 mg, 4 times per day) plus exclusion diet was associated with prolonged symptomatic benefit compared with exclusion diet alone (54).…”
