Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Ninja Nerds!

In this lecture, Professor Zach Murphy will present on Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). We will discuss the pathophysiology, focusing on the functional gastrointestinal disorder characterized by altered bowel habits and abdominal pain without an organic cause. The session will transition to a digital presentation focused on the diagnostic approach, emphasizing the Rome IV criteria and the importance of excluding other causes. Finally, we will review the management strategies for IBS, highlighting dietary modifications, pharmacotherapy targeting symptoms such as constipation or diarrhea, and psychological therapies for stress management.
