Assessment and Clinical Management of Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Assessment and Clinical Management of Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Speaker: Jeffrey Moss, DDS, CNS, DACBN

Description:

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.

Learning Objectives: In this presentation attendees will learn the following:

Research on the most common causes of the different forms of IBS.

How to use history, breath testing, and stool analysis to determine which causes of IBS are present with any particular patient.

A menu of lifestyle recommendations and supplemental protocols that can be used based on findings from the patient history and laboratory testing.
