Properly diagnosing IBS can be challenging and uncertain for different reasons: complex disorder with symptoms often difficult to quantify objectively, complex to explain it to patient during an average consultation…
Nevertheless, IBS symptoms sufferers need to be diagnosed and deserve a special attention as well as a dedicated treatment.
This is the reason why Pr. Jean-Marc Sabaté, Pr. Jan Tack, Dr. Pedro Costa Moreira with the support of the Biocodex Microbiota Institute have created an easy-to-use and practice-oriented IBS diagnostic tool with a dual objective for healthcare professionals: better diagnose IBS and improve dialogue with their patients.
