Understand the Symptoms and Care Options of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS-C and IBS-D)

Course Overview

Nearly 1 in 10 adults and nearly 15% of children suffer the fluctuating symptom patterns of abdominal pain, disturbed defecation, and extra-intestinal symptoms associated with Irritable Bowel Syndrome. IBS-C and IBS-D represents a significant health burden owing to direct medical costs and indirect costs. Misdiagnosis and under treatment leads to waste and unnecessary patient suffering. Diet, stress, and other sociocultural factors can influence prevalence, health care–seeking behavior, symptoms, and treatment response. Regrettably, practicing physicians and mid-level providers do not always fully understand the pathways and treatment options available now and those in development.

Topics to be covered in this interactive seminar include:

  • An overview of Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation and with Diarrhea
  • Epidemiology - Clinical Presentation and Treating Adults & Children
  • Pathogenesis of IBS-C and IBS-D
  • An updated classification system for IBS, the Rome IV diagnostic criteria
  • Exploring new studies on sucrase-isomaltase deficiency with IBS-D and Linoclotide for abdominal symptoms
  • Management of IBS Patients through Dietary approaches, Anti-spasmodic therapies, and Behavioral Approaches
  • Recently approved therapeutic agents for IBS-C and IBS-D
  • Patient care management for Advanced Discussion -practice clinicians and specialty nurse
