No Single Protocol. No One Right Way. Just What Actually Works for IBS.
Get the best of every clinical approach in one powerhouse event.
This expert-led roundtable blends insights from GI, pharmacy, and functional nutrition to help you build an individualized care plan — no matter where your patients fall on the IBS spectrum.
Whether you’re just starting to build your gut health toolkit or already treating complex GI cases, this event brings it all together — and shows you how to combine evidence, guidelines, and root-cause strategies for better patient results.
- Cut through diagnostic confusion with tools to differentiate IBS from lookalikes like SIBO, IBD, bile acid diarrhea, and more
- Streamline testing and treatment with Rome IV criteria, key red flags, focused lab evaluation, and evidence-based prescribing
- Go beyond symptom management to address root causes like dysbiosis, gut-brain axis disruption, and barrier dysfunction
- Food as medicine approaches that actually work (yes, including FODMAP)
- Leave with practical interventions you can immediately put to use
