this
By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D.
DEAR DR. LAMB - I have
what is known as regional il
etis. I’d like to know’ if there is
a cure for it or is it something
I'll just have to learn to live
with. My doctor said he
knows of no cure or any
operation that would do any
good. I’m on a bland diet and
sulfa drugs.
DEAR READER - Re
gional iletis is an inflamma
tion of the lower part of the
small intestine (called the il
eum) in the region where it
joins the colon. It is usually
associated with granular-like
swelling or growth of the
tissue. When the swelling or
growth is too large, it can
obstruct the opening in the
small intestine.
Often the inflammation
subsides spontaneously. Be
cause of its location, the
symptoms it can cause fre
quently resemble appen
dicitis. More than one patient
with this problem has been
diagnosed for the first time
when an operation for “ap
pendicitis” was done. Some
times it is almost impossible
to tell the difference and the
risk of not operating if appen
dictis is present may be too
great. It’s a difficult decision.
Surgery is sometimes
useful in treating such cases.
Usually it is limited to com
plications of the disease, such
as an obstruction. You may
recall that President Eisen
hower had this problem when
he w’as in his first term in of
fice. He probably had the dis
ease most of his life and yet
he served another term as
president and lived to 78
years of age. 1 think this is a
good example of how well
some people can do with such
problems.
Sulfa drugs are often used,
and doctors vary in their opi
nion of their usefulness. They
seem to help in some cases,
but they have not been so
universally successful that
they can be considered as a
way to cure the problem. In
some cases sulfa doesn’t
seem to help at all.
In general it is true, as your
doctor has told you, that you
have to live with the problem.
It is important to have regu
lar medical supervision.
The diet is quite important.
Usually one problem is being
sure the patient gets enough
good nutritious food. That
specifically means enough
calories and enough protein.
During severe problems it
may be necessary to use
special diets, but over a
period of time the emphasis
should be on helping you
maintain your nutrition.
DEAR DR. LAMB -
Please explain the difference
between cirrhosis of the liver
and cancer of the liver. Or,
are they the same thing?
DEAR READER - No they
are not the same thing. Cir
rhosis is scarring of the liver.
This includes an episode of
hepatitis (inflammation of
the liver), or following heart
failure that causes excessive
swelling of the liver, damage
from poor nutrition, and even
damage following excessive
use of alcohol.
Cancer of the liver is a
serious and usually fatal
problem. It can follow cir
rhosis, but scientists are hard
pressed to prove that is the
cause of it. More often it de
velops on its own or from
spread of cancer from
elsewhere in the body.
