Abstract
Six common foods [coffee, tea, cola, beer, chocolate and tomatoes] can cause the clinical entity called idiopathic pruritus ani. Pruritus ani occurs in 24-48 h when a patient consumes more than a threshold amount of one or more of these foods; it disappears spontaneously in a few days provided the threshold is not exceeded again.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
