FCPA Assessment and Clinical Management of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Course overview

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), which commonly presents as diarrhea predominant (IBS-D), constipation predominant (IBS-C), or a combination of the two (mixed - IBS-M), is one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders in the United States. Unfortunately, despite its prevalence, there continues to exist much confusion and divergent opinions on underlying causes, patient assessment and clinical management. In this presentation, the most current research on causation will be presented. Then, based on the most current understanding of causation, methods of assessment and treatment, with a focus on lifestyle changes and supplemental protocols that are practical, cost effective, and highly efficacious, will be discussed.
