Ileitis is the condition that manifests in inflammation or irritation in the ileum, which is the end of the small bowel where it connects to one's large intestine. Signs and symptoms of ileitis might encompass any of those listed below:
- Cramping or discomfort in the abdomen or fistulas (atypical channels that develop from one part to another of the intestine)
- Diarrhea
- Unplanned loss of weight
Ileitis may be due to a number of conditions, though Crohn's disease is the most common. Alternate instigating factors may be infections, effects of NSAIDs, ischemia, and atypical growths.

How is ileitis diagnosed?
Determining the main reason behind ileitis is vital to treat this gastrointestinal condition effectively. Your specialist will review your medical history and perform a thorough physical exam. To confirm the diagnosis, we'll conduct evaluations like stool analysis, X-rays, barium X-rays of the small intestine, CT scan, colonoscopy (narrow lighted tube is inserted into the anus for a close examination), and biopsy. If you feel that ileitis may be the source of your pain, contact Texas Digestive Disease Consultants to schedule a consultation with a gastroenterology provider who can give you an appropriate plan for treatment.
What is the treatment for ileitis?
The results of the diagnostic tests determine the treatment necessary. Sometimes you can treat ileitis with antibiotics, corticosteroids, anti-inflammatories, or antidiarrheal and/or immunosuppressant medications. Additionally, you can take dietary supplements that may decrease swelling and manage symptoms. We'll recommend surgical intervention if symptoms are uncontrollable with medications or complications develop. During surgery, we'll remove the damaged part and remedy intestinal bleeding. It is important to incorporate a healthy lifestyle, exercise regularly, eat well, and avoid smoking. Please schedule a consultation with our GI providers to learn more about treatment for ileitis in Texas.
