this is a good web site to learn about TB.

Answer 2

Gastrointestinal Tuberculosis: This is uncommon today because routine pasteurization of milk has eliminated Mycobacterium bovis infections. However, M. tuberculosis organisms coughed up in sputum may be swallowed into the GI tract. The classic lesions are circumferential ulcerations with stricture of the small intestine. There is a predilection for ileocecal involvement because of the abundant lymphoid tissue and slower rate of passage of lumenal contents.
In the cases where the culture is negative, it can be difficult to differentiate tuberculosis from Crohn's disease based on both the clinical and histological features. When side effects of classic antimycobacteria are encountered, we can initially add ciprofloxacin to the treatment of tuberculosis.

Answer 3

TB is often in the lungs, but it can move on to other parts of the body, such as the spine (causing some paralysis) or the brain. Those are the two most serious places it can go. If he is HIV positive, TB can have a field day with him. He should be tested for HIV.

As far as I know, barium would show scarring,etc but not a particular germ. Did he have a stool culture and sensitivity done? That would tell if TB were in his intestines.

Go to a public health TB clinic or to an infectious disease specialist (look in the yellow pages under physician specialities). Cow TB (mycobacterium bovis) can also survive pasteurization of milk. Consider changing to soy milk, almond milk or rice milk. But still he should be taking anti-tuberculosis medications.

here are some links to M.Bovis (cow TB) and cow's milk..

Fibromyalgia, IBS, Crohn’s and MycobacteriaTB in milk

Fibromyalgia is said to be linked to IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) and spastic bladder. I have been reading questions and answers in the vegetarian section and one link suggested that cow's milk can have mycobacterium bovis (similar to tuberculosis) that can form spores that are resistant to being killed off in the high heat of pasteurization and the people on the website suggested that that may be the cause of IBS.

Here are some links.

and to small intestinal bacterial overgrowth...mentions Mycobacterium paratuberculosis)(interesting...seems to cure a few too many diseases?)
http://focosi.immunesig.org/pathobacteria.htm (scroll down about 1/8 of the page down in the gram postitive section to see the links of mycobacterium paratuberculosis to milk..how it survives pasteurization and linking it to Crohn's disease and IBS)
http://www.mnwelldir.org/docs/history/biographies/louis_pasteur.htm#Pasteurization (pasteurization does not kill typhoid, coli bacillus, and tuberculosis are not killed by the temperatures used, and there have been a good number of salmonella epidemics traced to pasteurized milk…and the temps used destroy any antibacterial properties of milk)

Tuberculosis germs can affect or move to other parts of the body besides the lungs..including the spinal cord and brain, which is the reason why patients who test positive for tuberculosis but have no active (lung) disease are recommended to be treated with antibiotics, since the TB germ is merely kept “locked up” or under control by body defenses, not killed…
