1. tricyclic antidepressants (desipramine) for IBS-D 2. SSRIs for IBS-C 3. duloxetine for IBS-C and IBS-D

According to the drug list, which medications are used to treat IBS with severe pain? (3)

1. Lubiprostone 2. SSRI (Escitalopram, citalopram, sertraline) 3. rifaximin 4. osmotic laxatives (polyethylene glycol, milk of magnesia)

According to the drug list, which medications are used to treat IBS-C? (4)

1. rifaximin 2. alosetron 3. loperamide

According to the drug list, which medications are used to treat IBS-D? (3)

1. lubiprostone 2. osmotic laxatives: polyethylene glycol, milk of magnesia

According to the drug list, which medications are used to treat IBS-M? (2)

1. feces distends rectum wall which activates stretch-R and leads to a release of serotonin 2. serotonin stimulates afferent enteric neurons 3. neurons stimulate contraction in proximal part of colon and relaxation in distal part of colon

Describe how a poop moves in the rectum :)

1. Feces distend the rectum and activate stretch receptors 2. Receptors transmit signals along afferent fibers to spinal cord neurons which triggers a spinal cord reflex 3. parasympathetic (efferent) fibers stimulate internal anal sphincter (IAS) relaxation 4. now stool is under voluntary control

Describe how poop moves from the rectum to the outside

1. high fiber diet 2. make him sit on the toilet after each meal to increase peristaltic contraction (and ensure him that he wont get flushed down the toilet, I presume) 3. put his legs on a stool

Remember poor little Sammy? He became constipated around when he was toilet trained, had a low fiber diet, and would do the doody dance. How might we treat a little guy like this? (3 things)

No- these are not approved for use in children Need to give him Miralax

Sammy comes back a few weeks later and he is still pooping pellets. Would you give him Lubiprostone and Linaclotide, the only FDA approved treatments for chronic constipation?

True

T/F: IBS Likely encompasses multiple diseases that present with similar symptoms •Host Factors -Altered pain perception •Visceral hypersensitivity -Altered brain-gut interactions -Dysbiosis -Increased intestinal permeability -Increased gut mucosal immune activation Chey et

false: its abnormal so often their brains are not aware that they have to poop

yes

has long term laxative use been shown to cause constipation?

hard/lumpy stools >25% of time

how do you classify IBS-C in terms of stool?

You put the patient in the left lateral decub position and wink and their anus. Jk: Cotton applicator in 4 quadrants around anus •absent anal contraction may indicate sacral nerve pathology

how do you do the anal wink?

<30 L/day

how much fluid does the colon resorb each day?

>18 yo b/c all the mouse pups died!
