A bit more clarification       11/18/09 07:01 AM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA Shawneric has done an excellent job of discussing Ig test and IBS. I have read the original article in the journal GUT. Following the article there were two letters from knowledgeable researchers that pointed out that this study had a design flaw. I can post these comments if you would like to read them. In a subsequent paper the senior author of the reported paper wrote that the mechanism by which IgG food antibodies could be mediating a detrimental effect in IBS is unclear; however, there mounting evidence to support a low grade inflammatory process in some patients. It is tempting to speculate that IgG antibodies could be involved in this process but the evidence is not clear. I find that I have to be cautious about medical studies reported in the press. The only true account comes from reading the original study which can be difficult because the articles are technical and you need to belong to an institution that has a subscription in order to access them. In January 2009 the American College of Gastroenterology Task Force on IBS released a report An Evidence-Based Systematic Review on the Management of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. You might find Section 2.6 Diet and irritable bowel syndrome on page S17 of some interest. They conclude patients often believe certain foods exacerbate their IBS symptoms. There is, however, insufficient evidence that food allergy testing or exclusion diets are efficacious in IBS and their routine use outside of a clinical trial is not recommended.
