What does IEI mean in MEDICAL

Common symptoms of IEI can include headaches or migraines, fatigue, skin reactions (including rashes), cognitive dysfunction (feeling distracted or having difficulty focusing), emotive issues such as anxiety and depression, gastrointestinal issues (such as nausea or bloating), and respiratory difficulties.

Since it can be difficult to find out what is causing a person's individual case of IEI, it can be hard to provide treatment for this condition. Treatments for IEI may include dietary changes, lifestyle modifications (such as avoiding triggers that worsen symptoms), taking supplements, using herbal remedies, and trying different therapies such as psychotherapy or cognitive behavioral therapy.

Diagnosis of IEI typically involves ruling out other potential causes of the patient's symptoms through physical examination and imaging studies. If results from these tests reveal no definitive underlying cause, then the primary care physician may refer a patient to a specialist who specializes in this condition. There is also some evidence that laboratory tests may help with diagnosing IEI due to its similarity with other medical conditions.

While anyone could potentially develop IEI, research suggests that those with a prior history of allergies are more likely to develop this condition than those without any known allergies or sensitivities. Additionally, children tend to be more prone to developing this type of intolerance than adults due to their still-developing immune systems.
