Abstract
G A A b st ra ct s food items, respectively. The presence of specific IgE to mite was not related to the symptom pattern/severity. Specific IgE to common food allergens was uncommon (peanuts n=3; wheat n=3; milk n=2; egg n=1) and unrelated to the symptom pattern or self-reported food intolerance. Thirty patients had elevated total IgE levels and 9 elevated levels of blood eosinophils, and also this was unrelated to symptom pattern/severity. Conclusion: Atopic disease is common in patients with IBS, but whether this is of relevance for their IBS symptoms is less clear. Our data do not support major differences in symptom pattern or severity between atopic and non-atopic IBS.
