PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common condition in the United States, but because there is no direct test to make this diagnosis, it is often held in suspicion by families and patients, and considered a diagnosis of exclusion by physicians. For these reasons, there is a need for focused education on an approach for making the diagnosis of IBS that includes the current Rome III criteria and comprehensive review of conditions that can be confused with IBS.

Increasingly, clinicians need to compare and contrast presenting symptoms and best options for a diagnostic work up. This webinar provides a practical and up-to-date clinical approach for the diagnosis of IBS, with a focus on recognizing masqueraders that enter into the differential diagnoses. Examples include food allergy, gluten intolerance, congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency, lactose intolerance and hereditary angioedema, amongst others.

The webinar will review Rome III criteria for diagnosing IBS, describe the red flag symptoms not typical of IBS and identify an evaluative approach for abdominal pain when symptoms are atypical of IBS.

 

TARGET AUDIENCE
The target audiences include any clinician treating a patient with IBS or undiagnosed abdominal pain including the following:
