Recently CRE Chief Investigator Nick Talley spoke with the Australian Prescriber about his recently published article in their June Edition.
Laura Beaton and Nick Talley discussed his article on the diagnosis and management of irritable bowel syndrome. Irritable bowel syndrome or IBS is a common condition that causes symptoms for about 3.5% of Australians.
“It’s incredibly important to reassure people that you recognise the syndrome, recognise their symptoms are real, and also help the patient understand that management is a shared relationship between the doctor and the patient.” – Nicholas Talley
Nick talks about the clinical features associated with IBS and potential investigations, and provided insights on how to take a holistic approach to care, including diet, medications and psychological therapies.
