[Immune status estimation algorithm in irritable bowel syndrome patients with food intolerance]

To develop an algorithm for evaluation of the immune status in IBS patients with food intolerance.

42 patients with IBS were observed. The diagnosis is based Rome III criteria. Determination of the concentration of serum allergen-IgG-antibodies to food allergens, IgG, IgA, IgM, IgE and immunoregulatory substances IL-5, TGF β1, IL-10, IL-4 IL-2, IL-13 were determined by enzyme immunoassay. All the patients received rotational diet therapy based on immunoassay data in addition to medical treatment of the basis disease. The control group comprised 15 healthy individuals.

Food intolerances basically to foods proteinaceous was diagnosed in 25 patients with IBS (59.5% of cases). The effectiveness of diet therapy was 68% (17 patients). Analysis of clinical and laboratory data revealed that the implementation of food intolerance in patients with IBS reducing the levels of IL-10 and TGFβ1. An effective rotational diet of food intolerance in IBS patients had significantly (p < 0.05) increase IgA levels.

Food intolerance in IBS patients characterized an increased synthesis of allergen-specific IgG antibodies, insufficient production of anti-inflammatory immunoregulatory substances IL-10 and TGFβ1, and intact cytokines IL-2, - 4, - 5, - 13, IgG and IgM in serum. Efficiency rotary diet in patients with IBS is accompanied by positive clinical dynamics, increase levels of anti-inflammatory substances and serum IgA.
