The ABCs of IBS

Course overview

Irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS, is a challenging gastrointestinal disorder that not only causes abdominal pain but often leads to decreased mental health, well-being, and quality of life for patients. The pathophysiology and treatment strategies associated with IBS are complex, and its management requires a multidisciplinary approach centered on the predominant symptoms of patients. This continuing education program will discuss the pathological processes involved in the development of IBS, the approach to diagnosis, and treatment strategies. Nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic approaches will be explored with a focus on emerging treatment strategies.
