Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 IBS affects people both physically and psychologically. It can affect their family life and professional life, and it can be difficult to diagnose.
#2 IBS is the most common gastrointestinal disorder and one of the most treated disorders encountered by physicians. It affects more women than men, and it is not given priority in research funding despite the high costs to society.
#3 IBS has been known by many names over the years, including irritable colon, spastic colon, nervous colon, spastic colitis, mucous colitis, spastic bowel, and recently leaky gut. None of these names really describes the exact nature of IBS.
#4 The more precise the definitions and criteria for IBS are, the better we can communicate with our patients and fellow physicians, and the faster we can make a diagnosis and start patients on a path to healing.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

IBS affects people both physically and psychologically. It can affect their family life and professional life, and it can be difficult to diagnose.

#2

IBS is the most common gastrointestinal disorder and one of the most treated disorders encountered by physicians. It affects more women than men, and it is not given priority in research funding despite the high costs to society.

#3

IBS has been known by many names over the years, including irritable colon, spastic colon, nervous colon, spastic colitis, mucous colitis, spastic bowel, and recently leaky gut. None of these names really describes the exact nature of IBS.

#4

The more precise the definitions and criteria for IBS are, the better we can communicate with our patients and fellow physicians, and the faster we can make a diagnosis and start patients on a path to healing.

#5

IBS is a condition in which symptoms of diarrhea, constipation, or both, occur regularly. IBS with constipation is the most common type, and is found in 35 percent of patients. IBS with alternating bouts of diarrhea and constipation is found in 23 percent of patients.

#6

IBS is not a mental disorder, but a physical one. It is not clear what causes it, and it can vary in severity. It can be difficult to diagnose, and many doctors still believe that it is all in the patient’s head.

#7

IBS is not a women’s disease, and it affects both men and women equally. It has been misrepresented, and many doctors dismiss it as a mental disorder.

#8

The majority of beliefs about IBS have been proven wrong, and the stigma around it has decreased. We’re making progress in understanding IBS, and how to treat it effectively.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

To understand why you have IBS, you must know how your gut protects you and fails to do so. This involves the micro biome, which varies throughout the gut.

#2

The doctor must identify which parts of your gut are malfunctioning in order to treat you. The doctor must also qualify and dissect your symptoms in order to figure out what is wrong.

#3

The gut can be broken down into various parts, including the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus. The hollow organs that make up the digestive system contribute to bloating, pain, vomiting, and diarrhea, depending on the disease.

#4

The first point of contact with the digestive system is your mouth, where food begins the journey of digestion. The act of looking at food functions more like a dimmer switch than an on-off signal to eat. When you take your first bite of food, the vagus nerve in your brain is excited, and as you swallow it, it becomes even more excited.

#5

The esophagus is a muscular tube that serves as a conduit for food from the mouth to the stomach. It is vital to health because if your esophagus functions poorly, you may struggle to eat and maintain good nutrition.

#6

The stomach is the next stop for nutrients. It mixes and grinds food, and secretes a large volume of acidic fluid. The acid helps denatured proteins, and it will kill bacteria and prevent viruses from entering the small intestine.

#7

The small intestine is the final part of the digestive system and it consists of three parts: the duodenum, the jejunum, and the ileum. It receives partially digested food from the stomach and further digests it so that it can be better absorbed in the rest of the small intestine.

#8

The large intestine, which drapes like a scarf around the small intestine, includes the appendix, the colon, and the rectum.
