Who are most susceptible to IBS
20% of ppl worldwide have irritable bowel syndrome
mot pop. in woman - due to progesterone in 2nd 1/2 of menstral cycle
IBS symptoms
- abdom pain/discomfort (relieved w. defecation)
- irreg pattern of defectation 25% of the time

3 or more of....FFPMB

-altered stool FREQUENCY
-altered stool FORM
-altered stool PASSAGE
- passage of MUCOUS
-BLOATING, abdom distension
IBS diagnosis
by exclusion -eliminate other possibilities (org. disease) for symptoms

criteria ; Manning & Rome questionaires
etiology of IBS (3)
hypotheses
1) underlying disorder of intestinal motility (increased or decreased)

2) emotion tension / stress

3) low tolerance for pain/ excessive response to normal signals from GI tract
Pathophysiology of IBS (due to having disease...)
- visceral hypersensitivity
- altered motility - exag. response to eating / increased sensitivity to CCk- increases muscle contraction/motility
- abnormal transit of stool and gas- bloating (due from bacteri breakdown of food in colon?)
- stress - CRF cause increase transit colon, decrease gastric emptying - increase in IL-1 (inflam cytokines)
- inflammation
Effect of Serotonin
5-HT in IBS
controls peristalsis
increasesbinds 5-HT4 receptors - enhances peristalic activity
w/o receptor, colonic motility slows
CRF
corticotrophic releasing factor
released when stressed (IBS)
increase colon transit, delay gastric emptying

acts on mast cells & compromises barrier that protects epithelium (bacteria/toxins/pathogens pass)
therapy IBS
-pharmacological therapies - 5-TH3/5-HT4 agoiists relieve many symptoms
-behavioral therapy - biofeedback(computer)
-acupuncture
-body awareness
-cog. behaviorl therapy -
exteroceptive stress
pyschological stressors
interoceptive stress
from experiencing symptoms
NMD for IBS
neonatal materal deprivation
early trama alters GI homeostasis
-dysregulation of HPA reactivity to stress (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis)

deprived rats show increased hyperalgesia& colon motility& epithelium permeability
hyperalgesia
IBS
increaed pain sensitivity
living organisms affect host by...
probiotics
- modulating mucous and systemic immunity
- improve nutrition and microbial balance in GI tract
VSL#3
probiotics
"medical supplement"- a medical food
contains 450 million bacteria/dose

contains bifidobacteria, lactobacilli, streptococcus

trend: reduce bloating& flatulence
biological effects of probiotic bacteria
1) modulate host immune system - increase antibody product. NKC activity, alter cytokine activity

2) enhance epithelial barrier function - better tight junctions, increase IgA product.

3)antimicrobial effects - decreased lumen pH, inhibit pathogen bacteria
probiotic bacteria (2) and what they do
lactococcus lactis - increase IL10 (increase good IL10/12 ratio)

bifidobacterium infantis - normalize IL10/12 ratio

alleviate symptoms if IBS
medical food
specially formulated and processed product for the partial or exclusion feeding of a patient (oral or enteral tube feeding)
Pathophyiology of IBD
stage 1 - infection? - initiates uncontrolled immune response in genetically suseptible person

stage 2 - amplified immune response - macrophages/neutrophils/lymphocytes (WBCs)
- Tcells and proinflam molecules : cytokines, eicosanoids, NO, platelet activating factor, proteases
MAP
mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis

infectious, possible trigger for IBD cause

strong assoc. w. Crohn's
- susceptibility genes that encode proteins of innate immunity to intracel. bacteria
integrins
in crohn's disease
protein
- in extracellular matrix, cell-to cell signal
selectins
in crohn's disease
protein
after cytokines...slows Immune response
Crohn's disease
mouth to anus
penetrate full intestinal wall (transmeural)
strictures, fistulae
onset: acute & severe
not curative
ulcerative colitis
colon & rectum (only)
mucosa & submucosa (localized)

onset: chronic and slow
curative (surgury remove portion)
granulomatous tissue
in Crohn's disease
collection of cells, macrophages, inflamatory & immune cells and extracellular matrix
cells are not being removed
non-caseating
in Crohn's disease
Damages in Crohn's disease (3)
- inflammatory - procytokines increase inflam response
- stenotic strictures- narrow blockages and ballooning - decrease abs and increase bacteria, overgrowth
- fistulizing - attachments - block slow movement
cause of Malunutrtion in IBD
1) decreased oral intake - avoid to avoid symptoms, theapeutic fasting, lactrogenic
2) malabsorbtion- SI diseased/ removed
3) increased nutrient loss - protein loss: inflam, permeability, blood loss, turnover of mucosal cells...electrolytes in diarhhea
4)increased nutrient needs -inflam, rapid turnover
symptoms of malnutrion in IBD (5)
1) weight loss
2) anemia
3) hypoalbuminemia
4) poor wound healing
5) prone to infection
medical therapy (drug) for IBD
- anti-inflam
- anti-bacterica (for Crohn's)
- anti-diarrheal
- immunomodulators (reg. good/bad cytokine ratio)
5-ASA
drug therapy of IBD
- anti-infam & anti-bacter
-compet. inhibitor of FOLATE
1mg/day

- cause nausea, vomit, taste altered, dyspepsia
Cholestyramine
drug therapy for IBD
- binds bile salts
- for patients with ileum resection
-anti diarrheal
-indice fat soluble vitamin deficiency
- binds bile acids and are excreted (bile acids not abs in ileum enter L.I and cause water > diarrhea)

osteomalacia - softened bones due to low vit D
steroid IBD
drug therapy for IBD
prednisone
- anti inflam
affects, bones resorption, Ca abs, excret,
reduced protein turnover
immunosuppression agents IBD
drug therapy
- for remission and maintenance
-cyclosporin - remission
-AZA & 6MP - maintenance

headache, nausea, upper resp infections, opportunistic infection, pancreatitis, toxicity
