Association Between Food Specific IgG Antibodies with Clinical Activity in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Cross-Sectional Study

Abstract

: Background and aim: Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is an autoimmune disease that is influenced by food, an important factor in accelerating its clinical disease activity because of intestinal inflammation trough formation of antigen-antibody complex. Food-specific IgG examination can identify the types of person foods consumes that are maybe responsible for disease activity. It is useful in treating IBD without risking malnourishment as it is tailored to the individual immune profile
