{"product_id":"book-ahk4","title":"Irritable Bowel Syndrome Awareness","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Irritable Bowel Syndrome Awareness Course has been  created to do away with the taboo and provide open, honest, and frank  information regarding the symptoms, causes, diagnosis and management of  irritable bowel syndrome.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnfortunately talking about digestion,  and the related functions within our bodies, is often considered taboo,  which makes increasing awareness about problems that can occur, such as  irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a hard task. Written for those with  some, little or no previous knowledge or experience of IBS this course  will help students to understand the condition, making it easier to  manage your own condition or help other to manage theirs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease note, however, that this course is designed to provide  information and awareness only and should not be considered a substitute  for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. The Irritable  Bowel Syndrome Awareness Course starts with an introduction to the  course itself; enabling students to prepare themselves for what they  will learn and how the course is structured, along with what is expected  of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe then give larger overview of IBS: putting it in context, defining  it and discussing its prevalence. Starting with this more rounded  knowledge of the condition, students will then be able to understand the  specifics in the correct context later in the course.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a functional disorder of the large intestine, to understand IBS,  we must first have an understanding of the digestive system as a whole.  As the main contributor to the symptoms of IBS, the large intestine and  how it can malfunction. Here students will learn about how gut motility,  the brain-gut connection, and gut flora, influence the functioning of  the gut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a syndrome, IBS is made up a number of symptoms that vary in  nature, intensity, and duration for each individual. This means as well  that two people both suffering with IBS could have symptoms that are  totally different to each other, exactly the same, or similar in some  ways but not others. The Irritable Bowel Syndrome Awareness Course  teaches students about the possible symptoms of IBS, both common and  uncommon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough some of the physical effects on a sufferer of IBS are better  known, though nearly not as much as they could be, what is talked about  even less, or overlooked completely, is the potential psychological  impact. Students learn about the clinical pathway that suffers of IBS  (who reside in the UK) will follow; arming possible IBS patients with a  guide to the steps they will follow during diagnosis and treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs there is no specific test for IBS, diagnosis of the condition is  based on a patient’s symptoms and the exclusion of other disorders. We  describe the criteria medical practitioners expect to be met in order to  provide an IBS diagnosis, and the process for this.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce a diagnosis of IBS has been confirmed, the focus then moves to  management, but with such a diverse range of symptoms and causes,  treatment differs vastly from person-to-person. The final module of the  course describes the extensive range of treatments available that relate  to the sufferer’s specific symptoms.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Author's Republic","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49440509329712,"sku":"BDahk4","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/218805-ahk4-Square.jpg?v=1736520004","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-ahk4","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
