Endocrine, nutritional, and metabolic diseases (E00-E90).
- Food allergy or food intolerance
- FODMAP intolerance: abbreviation for “fermentable oligo-, di- and monosaccharides and polyols” (engl. “fermentable oligosaccharides (fructans and galactans), disaccharides (lactose) and monosaccharides (fructose) (AND) as well as polyols” (= sugar alcohols, such as maltitol, sorbitol etc. )); FODMAP‘s are, for example, wheat, rye, garlic, onion, milk, honey, apple, pear, mushrooms, salicylate; fermentation produces gases and the binding of water can have a laxative effect.
- Histamine intolerance
- Milk intolerances such as casein allergy (milk protein intolerance).
- Food intolerances* – fructose, sorbitol.
- Pseudoallergies (pharmacological intolerances and intolerances to food additives; non-immunological intolerance reaction).
Liver, gallbladder, and bile ducts-pancreas (pancreas) (K70-K77; K80-K87).
- Chronic pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas).
Mouth, esophagus (food pipe), stomach, and intestines (K00-K67; K90-K93).
- Crohn’s disease – chronic inflammatory bowel disease; it usually progresses in episodes and can affect the entire digestive tract; characteristic is the segmental affection of the intestinal mucosa (intestinal mucosa), that is, several intestinal sections may be affected, which are separated by healthy sections from each other
- Ulcerative colitis – chronic inflammatory disease of the mucosa of the colon (large intestine) or rectum (rectum).
- Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
- Irritable stomach syndrome (functional dyspepsia)
- Celiac disease (gluten-induced enteropathy) – chronic disease of the mucosa of the small intestine (small intestinal mucosa), which is based on hypersensitivity to the cereal protein gluten.
Neoplasms – tumor diseases (C00-D48).
- Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP; synonym: Familial polyposis) – is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder. This leads to the occurrence of a large number (> 100 to thousands) of colorectal adenomas (polyps). The probability of malignant (malignant) degeneration is almost 100% (average from the age of 40).
- Colon carcinoma
* Associated diseases in food intolerances are:
- Infections (such as lambliasis, chronic infections, or bacterial overgrowth/dysbiosis).
- Mastocytosis – two main forms: cutaneous mastocytosis (skin mastocytosis) and systemic mastocytosis (whole body mastocytosis); clinical picture of cutaneous mastocytosis: Yellowish-brown spots of varying size (urticaria pigmentosa); in systemic mastocytosis, there are also episodic gastrointestinal complaints (gastrointestinal complaints), (nausea (nausea), burning abdominal pain and diarrhea (diarrhea)), ulcer disease, and gastrointestinal bleeding (gastrointestinal bleeding) and malabsorption (disorder of food absorption); In systemic mastocytosis, there is an accumulation of mast cells (cell type that is involved in, among other things, allergic reactions). Among other things, involved in allergic reactions) in the bone marrow, where they are formed, as well as accumulation in the skin, bones, liver, spleen and gastrointestinal tract (GIT; gastrointestinal tract); mastocytosis is not curable; course usually benign (benign) and life expectancy normal; extremely rare degeneration mast cells (= mast cell leukemia (blood cancer)).
- Eosinophilic esophago-gastritis (inflammation of the esophagus and stomach).
