It is a common condition that affects between 25 and 45 million U.S. citizens, about two-thirds of whom are women. With incidence on the rise, particularly among women, IBS has become a major health issue that is often misdiagnosed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe aren\u2019t exactly sure what causes IBS and although there are no specific tests to diagnose this condition, there are specific clinical criteria defining this syndrome that can help patients avoid potentially harmful, unnecessary testing,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/thomas-judge-md\">Thomas A. Judge, MD<\/a>, gastroenterologist and Director of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/inflammatory-bowel-disease-center\">Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center<\/a> at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/\">Cooper University Health Care<\/a>. \u201cWe believe that with a personalized care plan, patients can manage IBS and live fulfilling, symptom-free lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Symptoms of IBS<\/h3>\n<p>Symptoms of IBS vary and affect some people more severely than others. Stress and eating certain foods can make symptoms worse.<\/p>\n<p>Common symptoms of IBS include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stomach gas, bloating, and swelling<\/li>\n<li>Abdominal pain that may be relieved by a bowel movement<\/li>\n<li>Altered bowel habit, either diarrhea or constipation, and frequently both<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Serious symptoms which are NOT associated with IBS include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Weight loss<\/li>\n<li>Diarrhea at night<\/li>\n<li>Rectal bleeding<\/li>\n<li>Iron deficiency<\/li>\n<li>Unexplained vomiting<\/li>\n<li>Persistent pain that isn\u2019t relieved by passing gas or a bowel movement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you are experiencing any of the atypical symptoms, or if your symptoms have lasted for more than six weeks, you should see a doctor. Other symptoms or changes in bowel habits that are not consistent with\u00a0IBS may indicate a more serious condition, such as Crohn\u2019s disease, ulcerative colitis, or colorectal cancer.<\/p>\n<h3>Treatment of IBS<\/h3>\n<p>It is important for patients to communicate details about their symptoms so their doctor can make an accurate diagnosis. Once a diagnosis is made, a number of actions can be taken to control a patient\u2019s symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt Cooper, we look at IBS treatment holistically, and employ stress management, mental health assessments, lifestyle changes, diet alterations, and medications,\u201d Dr. Judge says. \u201cBy addressing all of these factors systematically, we get better outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Dietary Changes<\/h3>\n<p>As a first step, your health care provider may recommend dietary changes. These can include the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Eating more fiber-rich fruits and vegetables to increase fiber intake.<\/li>\n<li>Avoiding fatty meat and fried, greasy foods as much as possible.<\/li>\n<li>Trying a low FODMAP diet. FODMAP stands for fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols. These are sugars that are difficult to digest. Those following a low FODMAP diet avoid dairy, wheat, beans, and certain fruits and vegetables. Instead, they prioritize low FODMAP foods, including meat, eggs, rice, oats, potatoes, and berries.<\/li>\n<li>Reducing\u00a0gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley (frequently found in bread, cereal, and pasta).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cA low FODMAP diet may help people determine which foods could be triggering their symptoms,\u201d Dr. Judge says. \u201cHowever, this diet is very restrictive and should not be followed long term. Food items are progressively reintroduced back into the diet at which point the patient can evaluate their response to each, to know what trigger foods to avoid.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Mental Health Interventions<\/h3>\n<p>For many people, mental health conditions, including anxiety and depression, are present with symptoms of IBS. Research also suggests a link between stress and IBS. Although the exact relationship between each psychological factor and IBS isn\u2019t clear, interaction between nerves within the gut and the brain is believed to play a role. Many of the chemical messengers in the brain are also found in the gut.<\/p>\n<p>Some mental health treatments can help with IBS, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors around IBS symptoms.<\/li>\n<li>Gut-directed psychotherapy or hypnotherapy.\u00a0These therapies focus on relaxing deeply and changing the way that you relate to your gut functions.<\/li>\n<li>In many people, stress triggers IBS symptoms. Trying \u00a0\u00a0practices to manage stress such as exercise or meditation may help to manage symptoms.<\/li>\n<li>Antidepressants. These medications, including tricyclic antidepressants and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), have been shown to reduce IBS-related pain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Lifestyle Changes<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Keeping a food journal, which can help identify what foods seem to trigger symptoms. Then the patient and doctor or dietitian can work to replace them with foods that ease symptoms.<\/li>\n<li>Getting enough sleep each day. Most adults need seven to nine hours of shuteye, on average.<\/li>\n<li>Increasing levels of physical activity. One small study found that the people who increased their physical activity experienced symptom improvement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If mental health, lifestyle, and dietary changes do not help ease IBS symptoms, your doctor may recommend medications.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIBS it is a condition that can be treated effectively when diagnosed properly,\u201d Dr. Judge says. \u201cWith the right diet, lifestyle, and psychological outlook, and \u2013 in some cases \u2013 medications, patients can live an active and healthy life. You don\u2019t have to suffer with IBS.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>About the Digestive Health Institute at Cooper<\/h3>\n<p>Cooper\u2019s award-winning Digestive Health Institute at Cooper provides superior care\u00a0from nationally recognized experts.\u00a0Our physicians offer a level of experience and clinical excellence in gastroenterology that is unmatched in South Jersey, and our team of specially trained nurses provides patients with high-level care.<\/p>\n<p>Our state-of-the-art centers provide the latest diagnostic procedures and treatment options for patients with diseases of the pancreas, liver, gallbladder, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and colon, as well as digestive tract problems and related digestive issues.<\/p>\n<p>We understand that GI problems of any kind can impact quality of life.

Es una condici\u00f3n com\u00fan que afecta a entre 25 y 45 millones de ciudadanos estadounidenses, aproximadamente dos tercios de los cuales son mujeres. Con una incidencia en aumento, particularmente entre las mujeres, el SII se ha convertido en un importante problema de salud que a menudo se diagnostica err\u00f3neamente.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No estamos exactamente seguros de qu\u00e9 causa el SII y, aunque no existen pruebas espec\u00edficas para diagnosticar esta afecci\u00f3n, existen criterios cl\u00ednicos espec\u00edficos que definen este s\u00edndrome que pueden ayudar a los pacientes a evitar pruebas innecesarias y potencialmente da\u00f1inas&#8221;, dice <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/thomas-judge-md\">Thomas A. Judge, MD<\/a>, gastroenter\u00f3logo y director del <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/inflammatory-bowel-disease-center\">Centro de Enfermedad Inflamatoria Intestinal<\/a> de <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/\">Cooper University Health Care<\/a>. \u201cCreemos que con un plan de atenci\u00f3n personalizado, los pacientes pueden controlar el SII y vivir vidas satisfactorias y sin s\u00edntomas\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>S\u00edntomas del SII<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Los s\u00edntomas del SII var\u00edan y afectan a algunas personas m\u00e1s severamente que a otras. Muchas veces, los s\u00edntomas pueden empeorar en momentos de estr\u00e9s o despu\u00e9s de comer ciertos alimentos.<\/p>\n<p>Los s\u00edntomas comunes del SII incluyen:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gases estomacales, hinchaz\u00f3n e hinchaz\u00f3n<\/li>\n<li>Dolor abdominal que puede aliviarse con una evacuaci\u00f3n intestinal<\/li>\n<li>H\u00e1bito intestinal alterado, ya sea diarrea o estre\u00f1imiento, y con frecuencia ambos<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Los s\u00edntomas graves que NO est\u00e1n asociados con el SII incluyen:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>P\u00e9rdida de peso<\/li>\n<li>Diarrea por la noche<\/li>\n<li>Sangrado rectal<\/li>\n<li>Deficiencia de hierro<\/li>\n<li>V\u00f3mitos inexplicables<\/li>\n<li>Dolor persistente que no se alivia expulsando gases o defecando<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Si experimenta alguno de los s\u00edntomas at\u00edpicos o si sus s\u00edntomas han durado m\u00e1s de seis semanas, debe consultar a un m\u00e9dico. Los cambios en los h\u00e1bitos intestinales u otros s\u00edntomas que no son compatibles con el SII pueden indicar una afecci\u00f3n m\u00e1s grave, como la enfermedad de Crohn, la colitis ulcerosa o el c\u00e1ncer colorrectal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tratamiento del SII<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Es importante que los pacientes comuniquen detalles sobre sus s\u00edntomas para que su m\u00e9dico pueda hacer un diagn\u00f3stico preciso. Una vez que se hace un diagn\u00f3stico, se pueden tomar una serie de acciones para controlar los s\u00edntomas de un paciente.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEn Cooper, analizamos el tratamiento del SII de manera integral y empleamos el manejo del estr\u00e9s, las evaluaciones de salud mental, los cambios en el estilo de vida, las alteraciones de la dieta y los medicamentos\u201d, dice el Dr. Judge. \u201cAl abordar todos estos factores de manera sistem\u00e1tica, obtenemos mejores resultados\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cambios diet\u00e9ticos<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Como primer paso, su proveedor de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica puede recomendar cambios en la dieta. Estos pueden incluir lo siguiente:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Comer m\u00e1s frutas y verduras ricas en fibra para aumentar la ingesta de fibra.<\/li>\n<li>Evitar la carne grasosa y los alimentos fritos y grasosos tanto como sea posible.<\/li>\n<li>Probar una dieta baja en FODMAP. FODMAP significa oligosac\u00e1ridos, disac\u00e1ridos, monosac\u00e1ridos y polioles fermentables. Estos son az\u00facares que son dif\u00edciles de digerir. Aquellos que siguen una dieta baja en FODMAP evitan los l\u00e1cteos, el trigo, los frijoles y ciertas frutas y verduras. En cambio, priorizan los alimentos bajos en FODMAP, que incluyen carne, huevos, arroz, avena, papas y bayas.<\/li>\n<li>Reducir el gluten, una prote\u00edna que se encuentra en el trigo, el centeno y la cebada (que se encuentra con frecuencia en el pan, los cereales y la pasta).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cUna dieta baja en FODMAP puede ayudar a las personas a determinar qu\u00e9 alimentos podr\u00edan desencadenar sus s\u00edntomas\u201d, dice el Dr. Judge. \u201cSin embargo, esta dieta es muy restrictiva y no debe seguirse a largo plazo. Los alimentos se reintroducen progresivamente en la dieta, momento en el que el paciente puede evaluar su respuesta a cada uno y saber qu\u00e9 alimentos desencadenantes debe evitar\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Intervenciones de salud mental<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Para muchas personas, el SII y las condiciones de salud mental, incluidas la ansiedad y la depresi\u00f3n, ocurren juntas. La investigaci\u00f3n tambi\u00e9n sugiere un v\u00ednculo entre el estr\u00e9s y el SII. Aunque la relaci\u00f3n exacta entre cada factor psicol\u00f3gico y el SII no est\u00e1 clara, se cree que la interacci\u00f3n entre los nervios del intestino y el cerebro juega un papel. Muchos de los mensajeros qu\u00edmicos del cerebro tambi\u00e9n se encuentran en el intestino.<\/p>\n<p>Algunos tratamientos de salud mental pueden ayudar con el SII, entre ellos:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Terapia cognitiva conductual (TCC), que se enfoca en cambiar pensamientos y comportamientos en torno a los s\u00edntomas del SII.<\/li>\n<li>Psicoterapia dirigida al intestino o hipnoterapia. Estas terapias se enfocan en relajar profundamente y cambiar la forma en que te relacionas con tus funciones intestinales.<\/li>\n<li>Atenci\u00f3n plena. En muchas personas, el estr\u00e9s desencadena los s\u00edntomas del SII. Aprender una pr\u00e1ctica de atenci\u00f3n plena, como la meditaci\u00f3n, puede ayudar a controlar los s\u00edntomas.<\/li>\n<li>Antidepresivos. Se ha demostrado que estos medicamentos, incluidos los antidepresivos tric\u00edclicos y los inhibidores selectivos de la recaptaci\u00f3n de serotonina (ISRS), reducen el dolor relacionado con el SII.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cambios en el estilo de vida<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Llevar un diario de alimentos, que puede ayudar a identificar qu\u00e9 alimentos parecen desencadenar los s\u00edntomas. Luego, el paciente y el m\u00e9dico o dietista pueden trabajar para reemplazarlos con alimentos que alivian los s\u00edntomas.<\/li>\n<li>Dormir lo suficiente cada d\u00eda. La mayor\u00eda de los adultos necesitan de siete a nueve horas de sue\u00f1o, en promedio.<\/li>\n<li>Aumento de los niveles de actividad f\u00edsica. Un peque\u00f1o estudio encontr\u00f3 que las personas que aumentaron su actividad f\u00edsica experimentaron una mejor\u00eda en los s\u00edntomas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Si la salud mental, el estilo de vida y los cambios en la dieta no ayudan a aliviar los s\u00edntomas del SII, su m\u00e9dico puede recomendarle medicamentos.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEl SII es una afecci\u00f3n que se puede tratar de manera efectiva cuando se diagnostica correctamente\u201d, dice el Dr. Judge. \u201cCon la dieta, el estilo de vida y la perspectiva psicol\u00f3gica adecuados y, en algunos casos, medicamentos, los pacientes pueden llevar una vida activa y saludable.
