Hi
Was wondering whether swallowing pus, blood and bacteria from a slightly
infected wisdom tooth can cause diarrhoea and IBS-like symptoms? I have
always had a sensitive stomach to dairy products, etc but over the last 6 -
12 months I have had stomach pain causing mild diarrhoea almost every day. I
have had an infection of 1 wisdom tooth for over 12 months now and will be
having it removed soon. Can this cause my problems?

Hate to be so repetitious, but you may have crohns illness. That can
affect the teeth among other things. It usually attacks the weakest part
of the body. If your IBS-like symptoms do not improve when the tooth is
removed, look to crohns and read the Alt.support.crohns-colitis newsgroup.
If you do have crohns, that is what is affecting the tooth, not the tooth
causing the crohns. However, a doctor may determine a condition entirely
different.

Ryan,

Forgot to say I am not a doctor or dentist. Just someone interested in
crohns and how it works.
Would like to hear if your wisdom tooth has been removed or what is taking
place.
I am sorry none of the dentists responded, and I see you did not go to the
crohns-colitis group. Not to press the issue, however, I feel I know what
causes crohns and if you would like to hear it, please respond here or at
E-mail Advocate147@aol.com
Do respond only if you wish.
