Association between Food Specific IgG Antibodies with Clinical Activity of Disease in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Cross-Sectional Study

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an autoimmune that influenced by food, important factor in accelerating its clinical activity because of intestinal inflammation trough formation antigen-antibody complex. Food-specific IgG examination can identify the types person foods consumes are maybe responsible for activity. It useful treating IBD without risking malnourishment as it tailored to individual immune profile.Method: This a cross-sectional study involving 113 patients diagnosed with colonoscopy. Examination serum specific 220 was performed using ELISA and immuno-array techniques. Disease assessed Mayo index Crohn's index.Results: The highest proportion dietary peas (100%), barley (97.9%), eggs (95.9%), milk (81.6%), corn (75.5%); while ulcerative colitis (98.4%), (96.8%), egg whites (92.2%), (82.8%), prunes (78.1%). In colitis, there weak negative correlation between cashew nuts (r = -0.347; p 0.041) chickpeas -0.473; 0.017) activity; disease, positive seen 0.261; 0.042).Conclusion: There chickpea-specific antibodies barley-specific
