Abstract
Abdominal distress and irregular bowel movements are the hallmarks of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a chronic functional gastrointestinal illness (FGID). It is typified by recurring abdominal discomfort brought on by bowel movements or changes in pattern. Mind-body treatments have gained popularity recently as a way to manage IBS because of the role of the brain-gut axis. In addition to offering a helpful guide for identifying alternate diagnoses in patients exhibiting symptoms similar to IBS, this review attempts to offer an evidence-based solution to these perplexing problems. The etiology, diagnostic standards, and treatments for IBS will be summed up in this review, along with a summary of the available data supporting innovative digital medicines for these two illnesses. This brief study will give an overview of the pathophysiology, clinical characteristics, and treatment strategies of post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome (PI-IBS). In this study, we offer thorough methods for therapeutic therapy and talk about the possible contribution of psychological stress to pathophysiology. Additionally, to help with the introduction and suitability of these patient therapies, we offer a comprehensive review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the effectiveness of exclusion diets (low FODMAP and gluten-free diets, etc.) in IBS.
