<strong>The</strong> <strong>Pathophysiology</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Irritable</strong> <strong>Bowel</strong> Syndrome CMESlide 19.I believe that the other aspect <strong>of</strong> future research will be the development <strong>of</strong> more specific individualized treatments based on theunderlying peripheral pathophysiological mechanisms. <strong>The</strong>se might be dietary recommendations, for instance, the exclusion <strong>of</strong>gluten or FODMAPs, bi<strong>of</strong>eedback-based treatments for defecation disorders, bile acid sequestrants, or 5-HT-3 antagonists for IBS-Dand urgency; prokinetics or secretagogues for IBS-C; and possibly probiotics, nonabsorbable antibiotics, anti-inflammatory agents,tight-junction modulators, and even lubiprostone, as shown from the porcine ischemia model to restore normal barrier function,reduction <strong>of</strong> immune activation, and restoration <strong>of</strong> intestinal functions.Slide 20.Thank you for participating in this activity.
