Abstract
The present invention provides a method for treatment of Crohn's disease, inflammatory bowel disease, infectious enteritis, sprue, and intestinal inflammatory disease secondary to radiation exposure or an intestinally-manifested allergic response to foodstuffs which comprises administrating a cytoprotective prostaglandin to a human who suffers from one of said diseases. Cytoprotective prostaglandins refer to those prostaglandin-type compounds which are useful in reducing the incidence of NOSAC-induced lesions in the intestinal wall of the rat. "NOSAC" is an abbreviation for "non-steroidal antiinflammatory compound".
