A member asked:
Are food allergies linked to crohn's or any other disease of long-term intestinal damage? have many food allergies w/ intestinal symptoms.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
'Food allergies': most "food allergies" are not true allergies, but food intolerances instead. Food allergies do not increase the risk of developing Crohn's disease. If you are having symptoms of not being able to tolerate certain foods and they have been attributed to food allergies, or if you've been diagnosed with Crohn's, you should consider seeing a gastroenterologist for further evaluation. Good luck.
