Beyond IBS
Uncovering the Drivers of Functional Gut Symptoms and Dysbiosis
In everyday practice, a large proportion of patients with gut complaints do not fit the tidy diagnostic box of irritable bowel syndrome.Â
They present with abdominal pain, bloating or altered bowel habits; a history of gastrointestinal infection or antibiotic use; or evidence of a compromised intestinal barrier yet fall short of, or sit alongside, a formal IBS diagnosis.
For these patients, a symptom label is rarely enough to guide treatment.
What is actually driving their symptoms, and how should we intervene?
Understanding these mechanisms is what allows clinicians to move from naming a syndrome to treating the patient in front of them.
Webinar Highlights
This presentation looks beyond the IBS label at three overlapping domains of gut dysfunction:
