    • Internal Medicine

    Context:

    • Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a highly prevalent functional gastrointestinal disorder encountered in clinical practice.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective patient management.

    Purpose:

    • To outline the diagnostic approach for IBS, emphasizing the importance of excluding other conditions.
    • To detail the foundational treatment strategies for managing IBS symptoms.

    Summary:

    • Preliminary IBS diagnosis relies on symptom recognition.
    • An extensive exclusion diagnosis is necessary if symptoms persist or red flags appear (e.g., blood in stool, fatigue, elevated sedimentation rate).
    • Treatment involves patient consultation, high-fiber diet, physical conditioning, bowel massage, and anticholinergic medications.
