Could Crohn’s or Inflammatory Bowel Disease Be Linked to Cholinergic Urticaria?
Here are some interesting things I found that tend to overlap with cholinergic urticaria or my stomach issues in general: • Inflammatory bowel disease (such as Crohn’s, etc.) tends to flare up and go into remissions. So the disease can come and go over the course of years. Cholinergic urticaria seems to work in a similar way. • My stomach seems to get better when I remove certain foods from my diet (such as dairy). However, IBD can also be improved by removing foods such as dairy. • There seems to be a direct correlation with my hives intensity and the severity of my stomach issues. • IBD can cause cancer sores in the mouth, and I have had my share of those over the years. • My intestines seem to feel as if they are just bloated, inflamed, or something is up with them. • These IBD diseases have also been linked to Vitamin D deficiences (due to malapsorption). Furthermore, I have pulled up a couple of references of cholinergic urticaria being associated with Inflammatory Bowel Disease:
