IBS Diagnosis Check List

Up to 75% of individuals with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) may be undiagnosed. Properly diagnosing IBS can be challenging and uncertain, it is a complex disease which is difficult to explain to your patient during an average consultation. Therefore, Prof. Jean-Marc Sabaté, Prof. Jan Tack, Dr. Pedro Costa Moreira and the Biocodex Microbiota Institute have created a check list tool in order to better diagnose IBS and communicate with your patient. This IBS tool has received the endorsement of WGO.
