- Title
Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Gastrointestinal Dysbiosis Diagnosis and Treatment: An Integrative Review.
- Authors
Swintek, Ashlyn H.; Lester, Vickie M.
- Abstract
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic gastrointestinal (GI) disorder with no clear etiology. Current diagnostic and treatment standards are suboptimal. This review aimed to analyze current literature on the presence of GI dysbiosis in adults with IBS and the efficacy of probiotic treatment. Findings support an integrative IBS diagnostic and treatment strategy rooted in identifying GI dysbiosis and using non-pharmacologic probiotic treatment options.
