During this activity, faculty will discuss the role of Rome-IV criteria and other tests used for diagnosing IBS, as well as differentiating the different subtypes of IBS. The faculty reviews the benefits and limitations of IBS and CIC prescription medications and how to individualize treatment based on current evidence-based guidelines.

Gastrointestinal Infections

Between Thanksgiving and the winter holidays, clinic has been busier than ever with patients making last-minute appointments for sick visits. Some of your patients have been cycling in and out of clinic for weeks, toggling between upper respiratory symptoms and gastrointestinal illnesses. For example, when you last saw Mark three weeks ago, he had been sick with a fever, runny nose, and cough.
