The defining features of IBS are the presence of recurrent abdominal pain in association with altered bowel habits & the spectrum, duration and severity of symptoms can range from inconvenient to incapacitating. IBS presents an interesting conundrum given its diagnostic ambiguity and overlap with other functional gastrointestinal disorders. The Rome criteria currently divide IBS into 4 subtypes based on the most prominent bowel habit: IBS with constipation (IBS-C), IBS with diarrhea (IBS-D), IBS with mixed bowel habit (IBS-M; with alternating between constipation and diarrhea) and IBS unclassified (IBS-U). To simplify the diagnosis and treatment modalities of IBS, we have Dr. Manish Bhatnagar join us on Medflix for an in-depth guide on the approach to IBS. 

Gut Check: Approach to IBS Diagnosis and Treatment

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract and includes both Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Given that the presentation of IBD is not specific, the differential diagnosis is broad and encompasses a wide spectrum of diseases, many of which can mimic and/or even coexist with IBD. Mycobacterium tuberculosis ('the great mimic') may coexist with IBD or mimic CD entirely. Accurate diagnosis of IBD and exclusion of these mimics are crucial for patient management. Renowned senior gastroenterologist Dr. Manish Bhatnagar helps us address these dilemmas in diagnosis with a few interesting cases and clinical scenarios!

Upper GI bleeding includes hemorrhage originating from the esophagus to the ligament of Treitz, at the duodenojejunal flexure. It can be categorized based upon anatomic and pathophysiologic factors: ulcerative, vascular, traumatic, iatrogenic, tumors, portal hypertension & usually presents with hematemesis, “coffee-ground” emesis, and/or melena. Peptic ulcer disease: the most common cause, accounts for about half of major upper GI bleeds. Dr. Manish Bhatnagar, renowned Senior Consultant in Gastroenterology, is here to provide us all with a practical diagnostic algorithm to the case of suspected upper gastrointestinal bleeding(UGIB). The discussion is aimed to address the dilemmas in diagnosis of an upper GI Bleed, which in turn will guide us towards definitive investigations and interventions.
