Irritable bowel syndrome: Diagnosis and management

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Irritable bowel syndrome is often dismissed as just being a nuisance rather than anything more serious, but its symptoms can seriously diminish a patient's quality of life. When the disease is better understood and treatment is tailored to the individual patient, it can often be rewarding to manage.
