Managing IBS:
What Do Your Patients Want?
• They want you to listen
– Understand their history (symptoms
(symptoms, work
work, home)
• Education about their condition
– Address questions or concerns
– Address uncertainty of IBS
• Reassurance
• A positive
iti di
diagnosis
i
– Review results with patients
• Symptom improvement

Diagnostic Testing for Patients with
Suspected IBS and No Concerning* Features
All IBS Subtypes
CBC
A
Age-appropriate
i t CRC screening
i
IBS-D
CRP or fecal calprotectin
IgA TtG ± quantitative IgA
When colonoscopy performed,
p
obtain random biopsies
SeHCAT, fecal bile acids, or serum
C4 where available
IBS-M
CRP or fecal calprotectin
IgA TtG ± quantitative IgA
Stool diary
Consider abdominal plain film to
assess for fecal loading
IBS-C
If severe or medically
refractory, refer to specialist
for physiologic testing
*Alarm features include age ≥50 years old, blood in stools, nocturnal symptoms, unintentional weight loss, change in symptoms, recent antibiotic use,
and family history of organic GI disease.
CBC, complete blood count; CRC, colorectal screening; CRP, C-reactive protein; SeHCAT, selenium homocholic acid taurine; Ttg, tissue transglutaninase.

General Approach to Prescribing
Antidepressants in IBS
• Consider specific symptoms1-3
TCA iin IBS
D SSRIs
SSRI
– TCAs
IBS-D,
in IBS-C
– SSRI/SNRI for anxiety
• Consider side effect profiles1,2
– SSRIs may be better tolerated
than TCAs
• Start with low dose and titrate
slowly (every 1-2 weeks)1
• If ineffective or not tolerated, consider
switching to different class of agent or
combination therapy with another agent
and/or psychological treatment1
• Continue at minimum effective dose for
6-12 months1
– Long-term therapy may be warranted
for some patients
– Gradual taper to prevent
withdrawal symptoms
y p
RCTs, randomized, controlled trials; SNRIS, serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors; SSRIs, selective serotonin reuptake
inhibitors; TCAs, tricyclic antidepressants.

Food & IBS Symptoms:
The patient’s perspective
• 60% of patients report worsening of
symptoms after meals1
• Survey of 1,242 IBS patients the following
interventions improved symptoms2
– small meals (69%)
– avoiding fat (64%)
– increasing fiber (58%)
– avoiding milk products (54%)

IBS & Diet
• Elimination diet
• IgG elimination diet
• Low carbohydrate
• Low fructose/fructan
• Low gluten
• Low FODMAP

IBS & Low Gluten
•

•
•
R, DB, PC, re-challenge study
34 IBS patients (Rome III); celiac excluded
Prior improvement in Sx on gluten-free diet
16 gm of non-fermentable gluten
substitute/day vs. 16 grams of gluten
• Primary endpoint: adequate symptom relief
• Gluten-group had less improvement in Sx than
those on gluten-free (68% vs. 40%; p = .001)

IBS and Gluten-free Diet
•

•
•
45 Pts with IBS-D (43 women); 4-weeks
Gluten-free diet (23) vs. Gluten-diet (22)
Genotype analysis performed
Stool frequency, intestinal transit and
intestinal permeability measured
• Results: Gluten diet was associated with
increased SB permeability, especially in HLADQ2/8 positive patients

fruit juice, dried fruit
Fructans
Wheat (large amounts), rye (large amounts),
onions, leeks, zucchini
Lactose

IBS & Low FODMAP Diet:
Some Problems Exist
• What is the cut
cut-off
off for FODMAP content?
• Resources differ on low FODMAP diets
• Total meal FODMAPs should be counted, not
individual FODMAP
• Most patients can’t
can t stick to the diet
• Often requires significant time counseling
• Theoretical nutritional issues with long-term
use

Sucrase/Isomaltase Deficiency
Normal sucrose digestion
Sucrase-Deficient
Small intestines
Large intestines
Potential Role for Sucrase/Isomaltase
Deficiency in IBS
• Sucrase-isomaltase digests
75% of carbohydrates
(~40% of total Western diet)
– The high workload of
sucrase-isomaltase in total
carbohydrate digestion may
explain likelihood of
pathology if there is sucrase
deficiency
Frequency of Sucrase Deficiency in Small
Bowel Biopsies
(N=27,875 samples)
9.3%
Sucrase deficiency
• Sucrase deficiency is
common and can causes
diarrhea

Eluxadoline for IBS-D: Rationale
• Mixed mu (μ) opioid receptor agonist / delta (δ) opioid receptor
antagonist
g
• Low systemic absorption and bioavailability
– Low potential for drug–drug interactions
• Animal studies suggest eluxadoline should improve the diarrheal
symptoms of IBS-D with limited constipation and durable analgesia
μ opioid receptor
δ opioid receptor
Inhibition restores
G-protein signalling;
reduces
μ agonist-related
desensitization
Activation reduces
pain, gastric propulsion
Key inclusion and exclusion criteria

Daily pain
responder:

Daily stool

Bile Acids and IBS-D
• Bile acid diarrhea
prevalence estimates 1%;
25-50% in IBS-D
• Excess bile acids in colon
– Stimulate enteroendocrine
cells and accelerates colonic
transit
– Activate visceral sensation and
fluid secretion (through
increased intracellular cAMP,
increased mucosal
permeability or chloride ion
secretion)
