Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) & Crohn’s disease are both diseases without clearly defined origin. Both show symptoms such as stomachache, bloating, diarrhea and constipation and in both, the immune system plays a major role. Depending on the severity, the patient might be suffering heavily and even be unable to do sports, travel or go to work . Treatment is often only symptomatic and not causal; the diagnostics for IBS are based on symptoms, not a diagnostic test and it is assumed, that a low grade inflammation plays a major role. Similar is true for Crohn’s disease, a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the end of the small bowel and the beginning of the colon. Diagnostics is defined by several methods and treatment depends on the individual condition of the patient. https://imupro.com/igg-food-allergy/symptoms/crohns-disease/ Consumed foods can influence the immune system in the gut and trigger chronic inflammations; everybody with a disturbed gastro intestine knows that the ...

Psoriasis a serious global health problem, with at least 100 million individuals affected worldwide (according to the WHO Global Report on Psoriasis (1)). The incidence varies between 0.09% and 11.43%, depending on geography and ethnicity. In Europe, Nordic populations are more affected than Mediterranean, and a higher prevalence is observed in Caucasians than in Asians and African Americans1.

Spring is coming and, with it, hay fever - we get a runny nose, sneeze, and feel groggy. So why does a blissful bite into an apple suddenly cause shortness of breath, stomach cramps, and diarrhea? The trigger may be cross-reactivity.  How does this happen?  The immune system protects our bodies against germs. If viruses or other harmful substances get into our body, our body triggers an immune reaction and destroys the pathogens. Allergies occur when the immune system fights harmless substances such as pollen and food. The body thinks the proteins contained in these substances are dangerous and produces antibodies to fight them.   Cross-reactivity occurs when the antibody recognizes and fights not only the protein for which it was originally produced, but also proteins that belong to other substances. This can happen because some pollen, animal, and food proteins have very similar structures to one another. The proteins in birch pollen are very similar to those found...
