Recommendations for the Evaluation and Management of Inflammatory Bowel Disease with Irritable Bowel Syndrome-Like Symptoms: A Joint Rome Foundation and International Organization for the Study of IBD (IOIBD) Consensus

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to establish standardized recommendations for the evaluation and management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients who exhibit symptoms resembling irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Through a consensus process involving a multidisciplinary panel, they defined appropriate terminology, diagnostic criteria, and treatment strategies, ultimately proposing the term "IBD with IBS-like symptoms" and endorsing various therapeutic approaches. This consensus seeks to enhance clinical management and inform future research in this area.
