Extractions: Inflammatory bowel disease drugs don't harm fetus Last Updated: 2004-05-14 16:18:18 -0400 (Reuters Health) NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Medications used to treat inflammatory bowel disease ( IBD ) in pregnant women do not appear to harm the fetus, according to a report in the American Journal of Gastroenterology. A number of drugs are used to induce and maintain remission in patients with IBD, the authors explain, but there are few studies that have evaluated the effect of these medications on pregnancy outcome. Dr. Daniel H. Present from Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York and colleagues examined the possible effects of 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA), metronidazole, ciprofloxacin, prednisone, 6-mercaptopurine, azathioprine, and cyclosporine on pregnancy outcome in 39 women with ulcerative colitis, 73 with Crohn's disease , and 1 with indeterminate colitis. In 113 patients, the authors report, there were 16 spontaneous abortions, 6 premature deliveries, 2 ectopic pregnancies, 1 multiple birth, and 86 full-term deliveries. Three infants had major defects, including a heart defect and immature lungs. "We observed a malformation rate of 2.9%, a number consistent with that seen in the general population," the investigators write. "Prior literature reports have shown the rate of spontaneous abortion to be similar in IBD patients."
Extractions: Other Phenomena Introduction The painful red eye of uveitis or episcleritis, a draining Bartholin s abscess that will not heal, or back pain that improves with ambulation - all of these disparate situations may be manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that can occur with or without the diarrhea and abdominal pain that the clinician usually expects. These "disguises", the extra-intestinal manifestations of IBD, will often puzzle even the most astute physicians by directing symptoms and signs to another organ system. One may group these disguises by their association with the various localizations of the bowel disease (i.e., colitic manifestations, small intestinal manifestations), by the organ system involved (hepatic, hematologic, rheumatic etc.), or by suggested pathogenesis (immune, metabolic, unknown etc.).

Medical Services Inflammatory Bowel Disease Inflammatory Bowel Disease Treatment Appointments Clinical Trials Research ... Medical Services (Synonyms: IBD) Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is the general name for diseases that cause inflammation of the intestines. IBD consists mainly of two disorders: Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis These diseases are especially common in older children and adolescents. These patients are at particular risk for growth retardation, or for delay of sexual maturation. Moreover, given the length of time that these patients need treatment, they are susceptible to long-term complications from the medications used. Mayo Clinic doctors have extensive experience in treating IBD, seeing more than 2,000 patients each year. IBD patients also have access to the latest treatment approaches through Mayo's participation in drug trials research. Treatment for IBD is highly individualized. Physicians tailor the remedy to each patient depending on the type and severity of the symptoms. Treatment options for IBD include dietary changes, medications and sometimes surgery. Counseling can also help combat the emotional distress of having a chronic illness. This, in turn, may affect symptoms.

Extractions: OTSU, JAPAN. Crohn's disease is an inflammatory disease involving intestinal pain, diarrhea, and malabsorption of nutrients. The disease is characterized by periods of active disease interspersed with periods of remission. Elemental diet (ED) therapy is the preferred treatment in Japan. Conventional treatment with prednisone and salycylates has been only marginally successful in extending the periods of remission. The ED therapy involves tube feeding (enteral nutrition) a mixture of free amino acids, short-chain maltodextrins, and low levels of fat in the form of soybean oil. Not surprisingly, compliance with this diet is poor resulting in shorter periods of remission.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease - IBD inflammatory bowel disease. Definition. There are two types of chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) ulcerative colitis and Crohns disease. http://www.seniormag.com/conditions/boweldisorders/ibd.htm
Extractions: About SpeakThis Definition There are two types of chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD): ulcerative colitis and Crohns disease. These usually develop during the teen or young adult years, but a few people have their first attack (especially of ulcerative colitis) after age 50. These conditions appear to be associated with an overactive immune response, although the true cause is not yet known. They can be hereditary. The severity of an IBD is determined both by the number and gravity of symptoms and the extent of bowel inflammation.
Extractions: Food Allergies A speaker once said that we can live a few weeks without food, a few days without water, a few minutes without air, but only a few seconds without hope. Hope is indeed essential to life, to living rather than just surviving or existing. Some people with food allergies discover what they are allergic to, avoid those foods, and by practicing avoidance faithfully, enjoy stable health for the rest of their lives. Some avoid their problem foods for a time, and then their allergies improve to the point that they can eat freely again. Yet others develop allergies to more and more foods as time goes on regardless of how faithful they are about their diets. I was once involved in a discussion on how to prevent the development of new food allergies. One person said that using a rotation diet and not eating any one food too often was the way to keep from developing more allergies. Another said that rotation diets could lead to eating single foods in large quantities, and that eating too much of any food could cause one to become allergic to it. Finally someone asked, "So what will prevent the development of more food allergies?" The answer given was, "Death!" This does indeed seem to be the situation for some people - a situation without hope. The purpose of this website is to give you hope. Just as a rainbow comes after the rain, so too can you enjoy good health again. By treating the underlying root causes of your food allergies, you may become healthier than you have ever been before. It might not be a quick process, and most of the time you will eat differently from those around you (at least at first), but you can again be healthy enough to enjoy your activities, friends, and family. You can truly live again rather than just survive.
Extractions: IBS Glossary Inflammatory Bowel Diseases and Irritable Bowel Syndrome can cause similar symptoms, but they arise from completely different pathologies. While the medical treatments for the two disorders are quite disimilar, many of the lifestyle strategies for minimizing pain and bowel dysfunction are identical (particularly dietary changes and the use of gut-soothing herbs such as fennel and peppermint). Irritable Bowel Syndrome is defined as a functional gut disorder and is not actually a disease at all. We value your privacy Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a catchall phrase that encompasses a variety of conditions that are marked by inflammation and can occur anywhere from the lips to the anus. There are two main diseases that are commonly referred to as IBD, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis Crohn's disease was first written about in the United States by Burrill B. Crohn, Leon Ginzburg and Gordon Oppenheimer, a team of doctors in New York City who noticed that 14 patients shared the same characteristics of a disease pattern affecting the last part of the small intestine known as the terminal ileum.

Extractions: This is confined to the colon and rectum (the large bowel). Sometimes the rectum alone is involved. Inflammation and ulceration of the lining of the bowel cause urgent diarrhoea which can be very frequent. Bleeding from the rectum with mucus in the stool is a common feature. Sufferers also complain of abdominal pain and tiredness. There is a risk of developing bowel cancer later in life so regular follow up is essential. Crohns Disease (incidence 1:1000) This causes frequent, urgent diarrhoea, sometimes with blood. Abdominal pain, tiredness and weight loss are common. Crohns disease usually affects the small intestine, but may be more widespread through the gastrointestinal system. It can present itself in a greater variety of ways than ulcerative colitis, for example it could start with fissures around the anus. Both conditions tend to relapse and remit. ie there are times of being very well with no symptoms and times when the condition flares up. Symptoms can vary, but the usual course is for individuals to suffer intermittently rather than to have symptoms continuously.
