Welcome to episode five of our six-part series AGA Expert Exchange: Nutrition in IBD. Hosts Dr. Eric Vasiliauskas and Kelly Issokson, RD, LDN, lead a discussion focused on distinguishing the overlapping symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The conversation will examine how these conditions influence dietary choices and food-related quality of life (FRQoL), highlighting the clinical and psychosocial challenges patients often face.

Listeners will gain practical insights into evidence-based approaches for both short-term and long-term management of IBS and SIBO, with an emphasis on individualized care strategies that minimize unnecessary dietary restriction while supporting symptom control and improved patient outcomes.
