Product DetailsBook Publisher: University Press of Mississippi (15 June, 2000)ISBN: 1578062020Book author: Jon Zonderman, Ronald VenderAmazon Rating: 3.5Book Description:Crohn patient Zonderman and Vender, his gastroenterologist, base their presentation of the medical and psychological aspects of two inflammatory bowel diseases on solid medical evidence. Early diagnosis and treatment are vital to successfully managing both diseases, so Zonderman and Vender discuss the many conditions that can mimic those two and show how the differential diagnosis process works. A second opinion is no insult to the diagnosing physician, they stress, and often helps. After describing how the digestive system functions, they show how it can go wrong. They deal with related medical conditions and how Crohn di
In a previous report on the probiotic VSL#3, I stated that VSL#3 DS (double strength) came in a capsule form that is gluten free. VSL#3 DS does not come in capsules. However, it does appear to be gluten free. VSL#3 DS is only available in sachets of powder. VSL#3 DS requires a prescription but the other forms of VSL#3 are available over the counter (OTC) without the need of a doctor's prescription. As far as I can determine, the prescription strength form of VSL#3, VSL#3 DS, is gluten free since it is unflavored. The flavored form of VSL#3 powder contains maltose that according to the manufacturer, is derived from barley. Though they report the maltose is highly processed to the point they believe no gluten residues remain they cannot insure it is gluten-free. To take VSL#3 DS and VSL#3 O

What are Crohn's and colitis blood tests? Currently available blood tests utilized for the diagnosis of Crohn's disease and colitis include pANCA, anti-ASCA, anti-OmpC, and anti-CBir1 flagelin antibodies. Future blood tests will likely include antibodies against certain sugar (mannose) residues that are present in the cell wall of the yeast saccharomyces cerevisiae. Anti-Laminaribioside and anti-Chitiobioside antibodies are present in some Crohn's patients who are anti-ASCA negative. Such tests will likely help further distinguish people with ulcerative colitis from Crohn's disease, a problem in about 10% of people with IBD. What is pANCA antibody?pANCA is peripheral anti-nuclear antibody. It is an antibody to protein in the nucleus of the cell. People with ulcerative colitis develop a positive pANCA frequently though it may be present in some people with Crohn's disease and rarely in normal people. The pANCA antibody has been further divided into subsets by Prometheus Laborator
In reflecting on how I can help empower people to understand what is going on in their bodies, make changes to achieve better health and be more effective advocates for themselves when dealing with doctors I realized I may need to define some terms more clearly. So, this post will briefly introduce the definition of inflammation and how its presence or absence separates colitis from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS. However, these distinctions may not be valid on the ultra structural level or in the role of food proteins and altered gut bacteria and yeast in causation.Colitis defined: Colitis is inflammation of the colon, also known as the large bowel or large intestine. Colitis can be acute or chronic. There are known causes of colitis and some forms of chronic forms of colitis that are of unknown cause. Colitis can be visually recognizable during scope examination of the colon or may be only found under biopsy examination of the lining or microscopic colitis. Inflammation defined: Infl
Just published from the Mayo Clinic is a study that indicates that there is a significant overlap of the symptoms of IBS and microscopic colitis. In a group of biopsy proven microscopic colitis patients, the authors noted that approximately half had symptoms that would have met diagnostic criteria for irritable bowel syndrome. Symptom-based criteria for diagnosing IBS are not specific enough to rule out microscopic colitis. They state "patients with suspected diarrhea predominant irritable bowel syndrome should undergo biopsies of the colon to investigate further for possible microscopic colitis if symptoms are not well controlled by antidiarrheal therapy" The diagnosis is made by intraepithelial lymphocytosis only seen under the microscope when the colon on the surface looks normal. Many doctors don't biopsy the colon when it looks normal despite the patient having a history of diarrhea. Microscopic colitis is a known treatable cause of such symptoms that can only be diagnosed
