Video Summary

The video delves into Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), which includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). IBD is a chronic inflammation of the GI tract and includes Crohn's (affecting any part from mouth to anus) and ulcerative colitis (limited to the colon). Symptoms range from abdominal pain, diarrhea, and weight loss to more severe complications like fistulas. Diagnosis involves clinical history, scopes, histology, and radiology. Treatments aim for remission using various therapies, including biologics and, in severe cases, surgery. <br /><br />IBS is a functional GI disorder marked by chronic pain and altered bowel habits (diarrhea or constipation). Affecting women more frequently, IBS is diagnosed using the Rome criteria and involves pain with defecation changes. Causes are multifactorial, including psychological factors and post-infectious conditions. Treatment focuses on dietary changes, fiber supplementation, psychological evaluation, and symptom-specific medications.
