Description
xAre you looking for concise, practical answers to questions that are often left unanswered by traditional IBS references that are not designed for gastroenterologists? Are you seeking brief, evidence-based advice for complicated cases or patients with complications that need management? Curbside Consultation in IBS: 49 Clinical Questions provides quick and direct answers to the thorny questions commonly posed during a "curbside consultation" between colleagues.
Dr. Brian E. Lacy has designed this unique reference, which offers expert advice, preferences, and opinions on tough clinical questions commonly associated with IBS. The unique Q&A format provides quick access to current information related to IBS with the simplicity of a conversation between two colleagues. Numerous images, diagrams, and references are included to enhance the text and to illustrate the treatment of IBS patients.
Some of the questions that are answered:
- How can you safely and effectively diagnose IBS? Are diagnostic tests required, and if so, what are they?
- What should I tell my patient about the natural history of IBS? What other disorders are commonly found in IBS patients?
- What dietary interventions will help my patient?
- What is the role of probiotics in my patient? Why do they work and are they all the same?
- Are there new therapies for IBS? What about antibiotics? What is linaclotide and why might it help my patient?
