Abstract: After reading tragic and poignant accounts of physicians' courageous personal struggles with devastating illnesses, I confess I'm embarrassed to submit my physician-as-patient experience. The truth be told, I have no serious problems. I'm 37 years old and apparently healthy. I just completed my third marathon, my blood pressure is 120/80, my resting pulse is 55, and my cholesterol is the envy of many. So when Grace, my dermatologist wife, asked if she could practice some new skills on me before using them on patients, my initial response was an unequivocal "No way!"

In some cases, the symptoms are relieved by bowel movements. Diarrhea or constipation may predominate, or they may alternate (classified as IBS-D, IBS-C or IBS-A, respectively). IBS may begin after an infection (post-infectious, IBS-PI), a stressful life event, or onset of maturity without any other medical indicators. Although there is no cure for IBS, there are treatments that attempt to relieve symptoms, including dietary adjustments, medication and psychological interventions. Patient education and a good doctor-patient relationship are also important.
