Food Allergies Tied to Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Food Allergies Tied to Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Carroccio, who was involved in a recent review of food allergies and IBS, says he tends to agree that "food allergy could be a possible cause of irritable bowel syndrome,” and doctors should work on easing their patients’ symptoms through diet changes. But the work by Tobin's team and others "has yet to prove this," he says.
In the study that used the skin-prick test, "no direct relation can be proved between the foods and the IBS,” he says.
These findings were presented at a medical conference. They should be considered preliminary as they have not yet undergone the "peer review" process, in which outside experts scrutinize the data prior to publication in a medical journal.
