A member asked:
Is there a reason for why igg levels improved with treatment of diarrhea with rotating antibiotics, history of uc, epi, j-pouch?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Protein lost: Chronic diarrhea, especially when it associates with inflammatory bowel disease can cause protein lost from your gut. It is called protein losing enteropathy. Losing protein may include losing igg. When diarrhea or your uc is treated properly, there is less protein lost from your gut, thus improving igg level.
