How can our IBS Specialists help?
Alethea provides eConsult access to IBS Specialists who are happy to provide advice regarding topics including:
- Clarify diagnostic criteria and appropriate investigations (e.g., Rome IV criteria, alarm features, initial labs and imaging)
- Provide treatment guidance, including dietary interventions (e.g., low FODMAP), pharmacologic options, and neuromodulators
- Support management of refractory symptoms and indications for gastroenterology referral
- Offer strategies for patient education, reassurance, and longitudinal symptom monitoring
Example questions our IBS Specialists can answer
Below are some example questions you can ask our IBS Specialists:
- When should I consider starting neuromodulators (e.g., TCAs or SSRIs) for IBS-related pain and gut–brain interaction disorders?
- How should I counsel a patient on the low FODMAP diet, and when is referral to a dietitian indicated?
- A patient has persistent bloating and constipation despite osmotic laxatives—what second-line therapies should I consider before referral?
