On Aug. 29 and 30, 2015, AGA hosted the 2015 James W. Freston Conference: A Renaissance in the Understanding and Management of IBS in Chicago, IL.
The meeting brought together more than 215 leading experts in IBS research and patient care to explore the latest insights on diagnosing and phenotyping IBS patients.
The meeting also offered young investigators the opportunity to present their IBS research, with eight presenters selected to receive travel grants.
Notable findings include:
• IBS subjects report a high cat dander sensitization rate, suggesting a plausible explanation of high asthma prevalence in IBS subjects.
• Patients with IBS have significantly higher perceived stress than healthy controls.
• A brief intervention that targeted unresolved stress and conflict by enhancing emotional awareness and expression was as successful as relaxation training in improving symptoms, distress and quality of life in IBS.
