什么是肠易激综合症?
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a group of related symptoms that affect a person’s digestive system. IBS is typically characterized by abdominal pain, cramps, changes in bowel habits, and frequent gas. While IBS is uncomfortable, it is quite common: It’s estimated that 大约12%的人受肠易激综合症的影响 在美国.
IBS is sometimes confused with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but the two are quite different. Doctors classify IBS as a functional gastrointestinal disorder, 意味着正常的肠功能受到了影响. 与此形成鲜明对比的是, IBD is a group of diseases (including 克罗恩氏病 and ulcerative colitis) that cause chronic inflammation in the intestines. IBD, unlike IBS, can be detected on a colonoscopy or imaging test and can require surgery. IBS is not a cause of IBD and having IBS does not put patients at greater risk of developing IBD.
肠易激综合征通常根据其主要症状分类:
- IBS伴便秘(IBS- c)
- IBS伴腹泻(IBS- d)
- 肠易激综合征伴混合性肠易激综合征(IBS- m)
Treatment plans may be tailored to the patient’s most prevalent symptoms.

如何诊断肠易激综合征?

- 成像: Patients may have a CT scan or an ultrasound if their doctor suspects their symptoms are caused by ulcerative colitis, 克罗恩氏病, 或者感染.
- 粪便研究: 粪便培养可以检查感染或疾病.
- 血液工作: Blood tests can help rule out conditions like anemia or celiac disease
- Breath tests: Breath tests can help evaluate for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth and some specific dietary intolerances.
- 结肠镜检查: This test may be recommended if a patient’s symptoms are potentially due to inflammatory bowel disease or colon cancer.
