Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses three main clinical disorders of the large intestine: IBD (inflammatory bowel disease), IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), and microscopic colitis. The speaker highlights the common confusion between IBD and IBS, which can be confusing for both industry professionals and primary care physicians. IBD is characterized by symptoms such as diarrhea, pain, and inflammation visible through endoscopy. Microscopic colitis presents with symptoms of diarrhea and pain, but inflammation is only visible under a microscope. IBS, on the other hand, is a syndrome characterized by symptoms like diarrhea, constipation, and pain, with normal endoscopy results. IBD is further classified into Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, with the latter characterized by inflammation in the colon. The speaker also provides treatment options for these conditions, including medications and surgery. Lastly, the speaker briefly touches on IBS, which is diagnosed based on symptoms and often treated with lifestyle modifications, diet changes, and medications.
