About IBS Treatment Center
===========================
Dr. Stephen Wangen, co-founder and Medical Director of the IBS Treatment Center, and his staff have successfully helped over 10,000 people resolve irritable bowel syndrome and chronic digestive problems since 2005.
Some patients have had IBS symptoms so severe that they spent a considerable amount of time in the hospital. Others are suffering alone at home and are no less frustrated with the impact that it is having on their lives. The thread that tied them all together was that they had never seen an IBS expert (much different than a gastroenterologist), a doctor whose only mission is to help people solve IBS.
Patients work with us from around the country and the world via our telemedicine services. Get back your life! Work with us via telemedicine. Visit the IBS Specialists at ibstreatmentce...

One of the best videos on this topic I have seen. Loperamide seems to be the "go to" script for this diagnosis. While it does help, I found for me, with microscopic colitis, Greek Yogurt greatly helps me climbing up the Bristol Stool scale.

[@user-mu7zj9wp7d]

strait to the point. great doctor.

[@IBSTreatmentCenter]

Thanks!

[@snowthewarrior]

That's why I subscribed immediately. Why other doctors can't speak like him and deliver the info

[@Juli6SS]

New fear unlocked... I had no biopsy during colonoscopy.

[@IBSTreatmentCenter]

I wouldn't worry about it. It won't change anything in your treatment plan if it all looked good to the naked eye.

[@hopegaming867]

​@@IBSTreatmentCenterwhy do they not take biopsy if it looks good in the naked eye ?

[@lydialedbetter2041]

​@@IBSTreatmentCentermine looked completely normal BUT my biopsy showed microscopic colitis. After 4 months of watery diarrhea. 😢

[@IBSTreatmentCenter]

@@lydialedbetter2041 Microscopic literally means that inflammation was seen under the microscope. Did it change your treatment plan? I doubt it, because they probably didn't know what to do with that. But we'd love to help you with it.

[@11thsm]

I appreciate the hope. My mom who’s 80 has been dealing with this for almost 2 years (with no previous digestive issues history). She’s had chronic diarrhea for the last month and has lost a ton of weight and I’m very very very worried. Biopsies didn’t show anything. She’s working with a specialist. I’m seeing her today and I wonder if she should be hospitalized. Specialist keeps running tests but in the meantime she’s withering away right before our eyes.

[@IBSTreatmentCenter]

I'm sorry about that. I hope that they can help. Unfortunately, this type of story is far too common, and gastroenterologists and hospitals often have no idea about what the cause it. But at least they can give her an IV and stabilize her. We'd be happy to work with her, and work with many people that age.

[@lydialedbetter2041]

Carnivore will heal her colon.

[@pecko88tv]

We as MDs don't know what is wrong with your digestive system, so we diagnose you with IBS!? It is what every medical doctor does.

[@IBSTreatmentCenter]

I couldn't agree more.

[@elizabethmoffett2836]

Agreed! Got a pancreas attack and I throw up several times a week plus the diarrhea. My Dr told me "you're your own person. You need to figure out what works for you ". Ok!

[@IBSTreatmentCenter]

@@elizabethmoffett2836 Yes. That's where we come in. There has got to be a reason for this, and we like to help people figure out what it is!

[@hanykassar1341]

My inflammation is about 3 inches and am bleeding Cortisone and mesalamine are slightly improving my flares but counting on discovering internal allergies is not easy as allergies discovery is a long long process based on tentative and suggestions

[@azazai618]

I have just been diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis after a very bad flare up and being admitted into hospital for a week. Now on strong steroids and medication, I want to know how to control future flare ups and prevent flare ups before it happens,

[@IBSTreatmentCenter]

We would by happy to help you with that. Treatment is different for each patient, and we base it on a long evaluation of factors that can cause inflammation.

[@goyatea]

Unfortunately we can still have colitis with a clear colonoscopy. The only way seems to do a colonoscopy during a flare up.

[@GrammaSheShe]

OK so I know I have IBS and colitis. If I can’t get treatment from a gastroenterologist then WHO do I get it from? You keep saying there is hope, and there is help, but you haven’t said what kind of medical person I need to see for some kind of treatment plan!! Signed, EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED!!!!!.

[@IBSTreatmentCenter]

You see an IBS Specialist. That's what we are.

[@LL2-Light]

I am very confused about the following and would appreciate clarification: 1. You said the difference between IBS and colitis is that there is inflammation in the colon with colitis. Then later you said inflammation can also happen with IBS? Can you explain what you meant? 2. Do you treat Inflammatory Bowel Disease, such as lymphocytic colitis? Just wondered since the name of your clinic is IBS only? I also got diagnosed with EPI. 3. I need to watch more of your videos but it sounds like your main theory is that foods are causing this all GI issues. Is that correct? Thank you

[@IBSTreatmentCenter]

Good question. Be careful to distinguish between general colitis, which is often used for IBS, and the other forms of colitis, such as ulcerative colitis. They all involve some form of inflammation, but with many forms of colitis it's visible during the colonoscopy, whereas it's not in IBS. We certainly do work with people with IBD and would be happy to work with you. There are many many issues that cause GI problems. Some of them are foods, but many are not. As you know, EPI is one of those. And there are hundreds of others.

[@abhishekkatiyar9976]

I have inflammation in my intestines and this time I felt like I was having a burning sensation in my entire intestines including smal intestine

[@tmsp8406]

I am having pain in colon area with burning sensation since 6 months. Colonoscopy report is negative. CT scan of abdomen is negative. I had gall stone.. for which i have been operated. Still, i have pain in colon area and aggravates in morning after bowel movement and increases on increased number of bowels. Now , pain is going towards back. Really cant understand this situation.

[@IBSTreatmentCenter]

I am sorry for your pain. I did another video on IBS and back pain, so I can see why that can be happening.This sounds like the kind of problem that we like to work with, and we'd be happy to see you

[@williamcbrown7813]

I have this same problem but I've been told it's related to my nuropthy

[@tmsp8406]

@@williamcbrown7813 May be... Before this episode started... I was suffering from cervical pain. Later I came to know that i have c3-4 disc protrusion. But doctors refuse to related these both issues. My symptoms were as follows :- Hard core exercises and diet to reduce weight for first six months - then covid - cervical pain - gall stone - stomach issues. Now I have been opr for gall stone but i have symptoms of IBS. My pain in colon area also aggravates when I am in stress, like when I have reach some place on time and getting late marginally

You described exactly what I’m going through,my GI Dr told me it could be colon spasms,it gets better after a BM,she prescribed Dicyclomine HCI which I take as needed

[@esrademircioglu809]

Hello, I have some questions, I would be very happy if you answer them. In my pathology report: Slight increase in ascending colon sections, colon mucosa samples, surface epithelium and crypt epithelium. Lymphocyte entry is monitored. With trichrome, there is a slight increase in collagen in the subepithelial region. No additional findings regarding mucin were found. Although the findings are 'partial' support, if they are clinically compatible, it can be considered collagenous colitis. What exactly does this mean? Everywhere I went, IBS was accompanied by stools, sometimes solid and sometimes liquid. My questions are: Is this an autoimmune disease? Is there a margin of error in pathology? I recently had gastroenteritis and e.coli was detected. Calprotectin is low. Does microscopic colitis appear and disappear or increase due to this? I would be grateful if you could answer me. There are so few resources and so little information.

[@taliabushey3902]

I have UC and collagenous colitis. How do you find what's causing the Inflammation is the million dollar question? What's the most accurate way of finding food intolerances, parasites etc? What are the exact tests you use?

[@nicford548]

You neglected to mention which specialty treats patients with IBS/colitis!

[@IBSTreatmentCenter]

IBS specialists are the experts in treating IBS/colitis. That's exactly what we do. And anyone can access care through us via zoom/telemedicine.

[@GrammaSheShe]

Are you the only IVS specialists in the country? There have to be other places where we can get treated without having to travel to where you are.

[@IBSTreatmentCenter]

@@GrammaSheShe We routinely work with patients from all over the United States and the world via zoom, and have since 2005. There is no need to travel, and no advantage to being in person. IBS is something you experience, not something the doctor can do anything about in person. We'd love to work with you. Just email Tracy at [e-mail] and she'll get you started.

[@evarkf5303]

Oof nothing about the treatment. I was hoping there would be some explanation on the treatment

[@IBSTreatmentCenter]

You can't treat it until you know the cause. You can't know the cause until you work with the patient. I can't tell you how to treat your problem successfully on a video.

[@abhishekkatiyar9976]

Can papain related enzyme tablet cause so much damage in intestine that there is a burning sensation in the intestine and because of that you are not even able to eat food

[@IBSTreatmentCenter]

That seems unlikely. But we'd love to help you figure out what is causing that burning sensation.

[@karenconstantine334]

Are ryumatologist helpful

[@IBSTreatmentCenter]

A rheumatologist would not be the person to see for colitis or IBS. They mostly focus on joint pain.

[@lisakrische3732]

How is Crohn's different from IBS?

Great question. I've got a video on that too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4CmYnWfndZ7ns0

what about clay or pale stool

It's a good question. Unfortunately it doesn't tell us anything definitive. It's just a pale stool. It could be lots of things. Or nothing.

[@IBSTreatmentCenter]

Wow. Great questions. Unfortunately this is all way too involved to properly address here. Even e. coli is super complicated. However, I don't believe that microscopic colitis is ever thought of as an autoimmune condition, and it can come and go. And regardless, the pathology report is primarily only useful for creating a diagnosis, but it doesn't really help you get to the bottom of the problem. But we'd be happy to work with you. I hope that this response helps at least a little.
