Understanding Irritable Bowel Syndrome: A Multidisciplinary Discussion Part 2


Listen Later

In this episode of The Good GP, join host Dr Krystyna De Lange as she revisits the topic of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) with the multidisciplinary team from the Integrated Care Clinic for Disorders of Gut Brain Interaction at the PA Hospital in Brisbane. Following the previous episode focusing on the medical aspects of IBS, they explore the broader approach to managing IBS through diet, exercise, and psychological support.

Isabella Kibbe, a dietitian, delves into the low FODMAP diet, and its role in managing IBS symptoms and offers practical dietary strategies for GPs. 

Exercise physiologist Jake O'Brien discusses the role of physical activity in alleviating IBS symptoms, such as improving motility and reducing bloating, alongside its holistic benefits, including stress reduction and enhancement of overall quality of life.


Psychologists Dr Paul Stanley and Elena Bild focus on the psychological aspects of IBS management through trauma-informed care, the significance of establishing rapport, acknowledging patients' experiences, and using cognitive behavioral techniques to address gut-directed anxiety.


The episode reinforces the importance of a patient-centred and holistic treatment approach to IBS and emphasises the impact of non-medical interventions in improving patient outcomes.
