Psychological interventions have been designed and implemented effectively in a wide range of medical conditions, including Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD). The psychological treatments for IBS and IBD with the strongest evidence base include: cognitive behavioral therapy, hypnosis, and mindfulness-based therapies. The evidence for each of these therapies is...

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common functional gastrointestinal disorder, characterized by recurrent abdominal pain or discomfort in combination with disturbed bowel habits in the absence of identifiable organic cause. Visceral hypersensitivity has emerged as a key hypothesis in explaining the painful symptoms in IBS and has been proposed as a "biological hallmark" for the condition. Cur...

First published May 29, 2008; doi:10.1152/ajpgi.90202.2008.—Adrenergic and serotonergic (ADR-SER) mechanisms alter gut (GI) function; these effects are mediated throu...

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a multifactorial functional disorder with no clearly defined etiology or pathophysiology. Modern culture-independent techniques have improved the understanding of the gut microbiota's composition and demonstrated that an altered gut microbiota profile might be found in at least some subgroups of IBS patients. Research on IBS from a microbial perspective is gain...

Introduction and purpose of the work: Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) affects up to 10% population. The deterioration in health-related quality life IBS patients has been shown be comparable to, perhaps even more severe than, other serious chronic organic diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes, hypertension, end-stage renal disease. aim study is present a new method treatment.Stat...

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) affects a large number of children throughout the world. The symptom expression of IBS is heterogeneous, and several factors which may be interrelated within the IBS biopsychosocial model play a role. These factors include visceral hyperalgesia, intestinal permeability, gut microbiota, psychosocial distress, gut inflammation, bile acids, food intolerance, colonic ...

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a disorder of chronic abdominal pain, altered bowel habit and abdominal distension. It is the commonest cause of referral to gastroenterologists in the developed world and yet current therapeutic strategies are often unsatisfactory. There is now increasing evidence linking alterations in the gastrointestinal (GI) microbiota and IBS. Changes in faecal and mucosa...

fecal calprotectin is released in colon by activated neutrophils. investigation of diagnostic application of determination of fecal calprotectin levels is considered by many researchers to compare between different colorectal diseases like irritable bowel syndrome (ibs) and inflammatory bowel diseases (ibd). due to the effect of nutrition habits on the inflammatory processes of bowel, the main ...

BACKGROUND A diet low in fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAPs) is increasingly recommended for patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). We aimed to investigate the effects of a blinded low-FODMAP vs high-fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) diet on symptoms, immune activation, gut microbiota composition, and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). METHODS ...
