IBS, which affects almost one in six Americans, is characterized by
abdominal pain, bloating, gas, and diarrhea or constipation. Today
more than ever before, physicians are able to diagnose this complex
disorder, understand and explain its origins, and develop a
treatment plan that effectively meets the individual needs of a
patient. Drawing on his many years of experience treating people
who have symptoms of IBS, Dr. Brian E. Lacy explains normal
digestion, the causes of IBS, how IBS is diagnosed, and what to
expect with treatment. He also explores special topics such as IBS
in children and psychological, hypnotherapeutic, and psychiatric
therapies. Important new information in the second edition
includes: the roles of fiber, gluten, lactose, and fructose in the
development and treatment of IBS; the use of probiotics and
antibiotics to treat IBS; similarities and differences between IBS
and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD); the relationship between
small intestine bacterial overgrowth and IBS; how to make the most
of your visits to a gastroenterologist; and lifestyle modifications
that can improve symptoms of IBS. Making Sense of IBS is an
essential resource for anyone who has symptoms or a diagnosis of
IBS as well as for health professionals who treat people with this
complex disorder.
