Abstract

Urticaria is a transient skin condition, usually caused by an allergic reaction. Urticaria patients may also suffer from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a gastrointestinal disorder with poorly understood etiology. Functional imaging using confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) in the duodenum of IBS patients with suspected food intolerance may reveal reaction to food at a microscopic level. Urticaria patients who also have IBS may be food intolerant and could profit from exclusion of specific food antigens.
