Overlapping Symptoms in Gastroenterology: Can You Diagnose These Patients?
Overlapping Symptoms in Gastroenterology: Can You Diagnose These Patients?
Case-based Education
A patient comes to your clinic stating she has experienced abdominal and bowel-related symptoms for the past five years. What’s next?
Challenges in diagnosing and managing patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders that have overlapping symptoms are often fueled by suboptimal diagnostic practices and failure to incorporate effective therapeutic approaches for both newly diagnosed and refractory patients. Moreover, delays in diagnosis are often patient-related; many people try to self-manage their condition and struggle with symptoms for 2 or more years before seeking help.
Join William Chey, MD, Hannibal Person, MD and Hilary Ugras, NP as they walk through blinded cases of patients with common and overlapping symptoms, and vote on the steps needed to get to a differential diagnosis. Put your skills to the test!
