Does medication to treat environmental allergies have any positive effect on treatment of EGID?
Again, this depends on the disease, but most likely yes. If a patient with EE is allergic to molds for example (aspergillus), medication might help prevent and treat a reaction, and help with their EE if their disease is allergic in nature. Those patients that have IgE allergies and respond with positive results via SPT and RAST testing to environmental allergens may be helped. Those patients with T cell responses that are indicated by patch testing might not be helped.
