“…Although cramping abdominal pain is described repeatedly in the literature as a characteristic symptom of collagenous colitis [2,27], this was of minor intensity in our study group. However, pain and diarrhoea had not been quantitatively assessed before in collagenous colitis and, consequently, our results await substantiation by other researchers.…”

Objectives and Design: To compare clinical data and histamine metabolism of patients with collagenous colitis with those of food allergy. Methods: In 17 patients with collagenous colitis, clinical findings (diarrhoea, abdominal pain) were recorded. Plasma (for histamine) and 12-h-urine (for histamine and n-methylhistamine, all measured by RIA) were collected during two days with an unrestricted diet followed by two days with an hypoallergenic. The clinical data and measured values were compared with those from patients with confirmed food allergy (n = 21) and controls (n = 41). Results: Patients with collagenous colitis were found to present with significantly more liquid stools than patients with food allergy (p < 0.001) during both types of diet, but they did not experience more abdominal pain. N-methylhistamine in 12-h-urine was significantly increased during both types of diet in patients with collagenous colitis and food allergy when compared with controls (p < 0.001 for all). Patients with food allergy -but not those with collagenous colitisshowed a significant decrease of severity of pain (p < 0.05) when the diet was changed to the elimination protocol. Conclusion: Histamine is extensively produced and metabolised in patients with collagenous colitis. In contrast to food allergy, the allergenic potency of the administered food seems not to influence histamine production in collagenous colitis. However, histamine metabolism corresponds with the clinical activity in both patients with food allergy and collagenous colitis.

“…In addition, conversions from LC to CC and from CC to LC have been described as case reports [9][10][11][12][13][14]. This may indicate that the two types of MC are more closely related to each other than previously anticipated.…”

“…Crypt distortion is generally absent. 12 The major histologic difference between lymphocytic colitis and collagenous colitis is the absence of a subepithelial collagen band in the former. 1,13 Physical examination of these patients with lymphocytic colitis is generally unremarkable.…”
