KAREN FLOYD ABDOMINAL
PAIN CASE STUDY
I-HUMAN CASE STUDY
provides all answers and rationale with the most
accurate responses
, The management plan for Karen Floyd, a 45-year-old female with IBS,
includes;
• Lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, stress reduction, and
adequate sleep
• Dietary changes such as a fiber-rich and low FODMAP diet, and
adequate hydration
• Medication such as antispasmodics, probiotics, and psychological
therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy or gut-directed
hypnotherapy.
• Regular follow-up appointments are important to monitor progress and
adjust the treatment plan as needed.
Step-by-step explanation
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a functional gastrointestinal disorder
characterized by chronic or recurrent abdominal pain, bloating, and
changes in bowel habits, such as diarrhea, constipation, or alternating
patterns of both. These symptoms are not caused by an underlying
structural or biochemical abnormality but are due to alterations in the
way the gut and brain interact, which can lead to abnormal gut motility,
visceral hypersensitivity, and immune activation (Chey et al., 2015).
The severity and frequency of IBS symptoms can vary widely from
person to person, and may be triggered by a variety of factors,
including stress, certain foods or drinks, hormonal changes, or
medications. For example, some people with IBS may experience
worsening symptoms after consuming high-fat foods, caffeine, alcohol,
or artificial sweeteners, while others may have symptoms triggered by
emotional stress, such as anxiety or depression (National Institute of
Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, 2022).
