What Could Cause Stomachaches And Fatigue When Suffering From Melkersson-Rosenthal Syndrome?
My wife was diagnosed with Melkersson-Rosenthal Syndrome
Abound 35 years ago the first full syndrome in a hundred years
Over the past years she has suffered stomach pains which last for some time this also leaves her severely fatigued.
Is it possible that the syndrome is causing inflammation of the bowel

Hello!
Welcome on Healthcaremagic!
You should know that it is not typical of this syndrome to affect the bowel and cause inflammation.
But sometimes this syndrome (considering the fact that is really rare) could be confounded with Crohn disease, which is an inflammatory disorder, affecting the bowel and causing similar lesions in the orobucal region.
For this reason, I recommend performing a Gastro-intestinal endoscopy and probably biopsy to exclude this possible disorder.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards, Dr. Aida
