Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) affects up to 4% of the U.S. population and impacts patients across the various quality of life domains. In this episode of the NP Pulse: The Voice of the Nurse Practitioner® podcast, nurse practitioners Kimberly Kearns and Nastassja Williams discuss the diagnosis and management of IBS as well as the impact IBS has on patients. This podcast is supported by an independent grant from Ironwood Pharmaceuticals and Allergan, an AbbVie company. Supplements to this episode include a resource tool for NPs, Navigating IBS Diagnosis and Treatment, and a patient handout, Improving Quality of Life With IBS.
