Irritable bowel
What is irritable bowel syndrome?
Irritable bowel syndrome is a chronic digestive disorder that affects the small and large intestine.
Common symptoms are stomach pain and bloating associated with changes in the intestinal transit (constipation or diarrhoea). An estimated 10% of Belgians suffer from this disease. The causes are multiple and examinations (blood tests, imaging, endoscopy) do not show any anomaly.
Clinic
The Functional Digestive Disorders Clinic at the Erasmus Hospital proposes a digestive comfort consultation in order to evaluate the situation, relieve symptoms and improve the quality of life of patients. Treatment includes changes to diet, dietary consultation, medication and sometimes physiotherapy as part of a multidisciplinary approach.
Research
Innovative tratment is regularly proposed in the framework of clinical trials.
