, Concept Process: Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a “gastrointestinal disorder with manifestations of

abdominal pain/discomfort and changes in normal bowel habits (Hubert and VanMeter, 2017)”.

The pathophysiology is “the rapid transit time of feces through the bowel. This causes

hypersensitivity on the enteric system (Hubert and VanMeter, 2017)”. The basic concept of IBS

is gastric motility, “which refers to the movement of food from the mouth through the pharynx

(throat), esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines and out of the body (UC San Diego

Health, n.d)”. The small intestine is “approximately 20 feet long, which makes it the longest part

of the digestive system. Here, most of the nutrients and minerals from food are absorbed into the

body (UC San Diego Health, n.d)”. The large intestine, “also known as the colon, is responsible

for absorbing water from undigested food. Food is transported through the large intestine to the

rectum, where it is expelled from the body (UC San Diego Health, n.d)”. A gastrointestinal (GI)

motility disorder can cause feelings of severe constipation, recurrent vomiting, bloating,

diarrhea, nausea, and weight loss (UC San Diego Health, n.d)”. IBS is a GI motility disorder.

Health promotion and disease prevention include “eating more fiber, avoid gluten, and

follow a special diet called FODMAP (Chang, 2017)”. The risk factors for IBS include “Certain

medications, family history of digestive diseases, stress, anxiety, certain foods (Chang, 2017)”.

Expected findings in IBS include “bloating, gas, alternating diarrhea and constipation, lower

abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, nausea, fecal urgency and incomplete evacuation of

bowels (Hubert and VanMeter, 2017)”. Laboratory tests that can be done include “stool samples,

blood test, hydrogen breath test, upper GI endoscopy, colonoscopy (Chang, 2017)”. For IBS, the
