Diarrhea, Itchy Hands And Headache. History Of Crohns Disease And Migraine. What Are The Reasons?

Hi,

Every once in a while, I will have bouts of diarrhea accompanied with itchy hands. It will last several minutes to hours. Any idea as to the cause? I assume it is a type of allergy. I have a hx of Crohn's Disease and migraines. I take ibuprofren pretty frequently for headaches. I am on no other medications.

Thank You,

Hello.Diarrhea and itchy hands so sudden, food allergy is a likely diagnosis.
You should go to an allergist for allergy testing to differents foods.
In my opinion Ebastine 20 mg per day by mouth can be used when appear your itchy.I wish you good health.
