2 Session 3: The Fast Track: Improving the Management of Chronic Constipation and IBS-C in the Primary Care Setting Learning Objectives List the criteria for the diagnosis of chronic constipation and irritable bowel syndrome-constipation (IBS-C) to recognize symptom differences in their presentation to make an improved and accurate diagnosis of patients who suffer from these conditions. Describe evidence-based management strategies for individuals, including special populations (women, elderly) with chronic constipation and IBS-C to resolve gastrointestinal symptoms and improve patient outcomes. Faculty Brian E. Lacy, PhD, MD Associate Professor of Medicine Dartmouth Medical School Director, GI, Motility Laboratory Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center Lebanon, New Hampshire Dr Lacy is currently an associate professor of medicine at Dartmouth Medical School and director of the GI Motility Laboratory at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, New Hampshire. Dr Lacy s clinical and basic science research interests focus on disorders of gastrointestinal motility, with an emphasis on irritable bowel syndrome, achalasia, dyspepsia, gastroparesis, acid reflux disease, constipation, intestinal pseudoobstruction, and visceral pain. He is the author of numerous articles and textbook chapters on gastrointestinal motility disorders and functional bowel disorders. Dr Lacy is a reviewer for a number of scientific journals, and is a member of a number of different scientific organizations, including the American College of Gastroenterology, the American Gastroenterology Association, the American Motility Society, and the Functional Brain-Gut Research Group. Dr Lacy is the coauthor of a book for the general public on acid reflux disease, Healing Heartburn, and is also the author of Making Sense of IBS, a book for the general public on irritable bowel syndrome. Dr Lacy received his doctorate in cell biology from Georgetown University in Washington, DC, and his medical degree from the University of Maryland in Baltimore. Dr Lacy was a resident in internal medicine at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, where he continued his training as chief resident and as a fellow in gastroenterology. He is board certified in both internal medicine and gastroenterology. Susan Lucak, MD Assistant Professor of Clinical Medicine Digestive and Liver Disease Columbia University Medical Center New York, New York Dr Lucak is an assistant professor of clinical medicine in the Division of Digestive and Liver Disease at Columbia University Medical Center, New York, New York. Her clinical interest is in functional bowel disorders, particularly irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Her research efforts have focused on evaluating the clinical safety and efficacy of treatments for patients with IBS. Dr Lucak is a member of several professional organizations including the American Gastroenterological Association, the American College of Gastroenterology, the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, the American College of Physicians, the Functional Brain Gut Research Group, and the International Foundation for Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders. Dr Lucak received her bachelor s degree in biology from Barnard College and her medical degree from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, both in New York. Dr Lucak then went on to complete her clinical fellowship in gastroenterology at the Montefiore Medical Center in New York and her research fellowship under Dr Michael Field at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center.

5 The Fast Track: Improving the Management of Chronic Constipation (CC) and Irritable Bowel Syndrome With Constipation (IBS-C) in the Primary Care Setting Susan Lucak, MD Assistant Professor of Clinical Medicine Digestive and Liver Disease Columbia University Medical Center New York, NY Brian E. Lacy, PhD, MD Associate Professor of Medicine Dartmouth Medical School Director, GI, Motility Laboratory Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center Lebanon, NH Case Scenario 1 50-year-old woman presents with longstanding history of constipation Prolonged straining with bowel movements (BMs) Sense of incomplete evacuation after BMs Hard and lumpy stools Occasional need for manual maneuvers to disimpact stool Her stool caliber has not changed. She has no vomiting, weight loss, or rectal bleeding She does not have abdominal pain or discomfort She was prescribed a fiber supplement by her primary physician, but complained that it caused bloating and did not improve her symptoms She is not taking any other medications Participant Question? Discussion Questions Based on the history provided, what is your leading diagnosis for her bowel symptoms? 1. Pelvic dyssynergia 2. IBS-C 3. Diverticular disease 4. Slow-transit constipation 5. Hypothyroidism Should this patient undergo colonoscopy? Is it appropriate to check a TSH? Is anorectal manometry (ARM) warranted at this point? Would a Sitz-mark study be helpful? TSH = thyroid-stimulating hormone. Epidemiology of Constipation in the US Prevalence: Men = 12% Women = 16% 40 to 45 Million adult Americans Increased prevalence in the elderly approaching 40% 2.5 Million physician visits (1998) Constipation: Rome III Criteria CC must include 2 of the following: Straining Lumpy or hard stools Sensation of incomplete evacuation Sensation of anorectal obstruction/blockage Manual maneuvers <3 BMs/wk >25% of Defecations for 3 Mo Loose stools are rarely present without the use of laxatives There are insufficient criteria for IBS Drossman DA, et al.

Lacy, PhD, MD Associate Professor of Medicine Dartmouth Medical School Director, GI, Motility Laboratory Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center Lebanon, NH 32-year-old female editorial assistant comes for initial consultation CC: bloating, abdominal pain since teen years Worse with menstrual cycle; predominantly constipated passing small pebble-like stools (Type 1) with rare episodes of loose stools Past medical history Fibromyalgia Migraine headaches GERD Case Scenario 2 (cont) Family history: Mother had similar symptoms. No history of IBD or colon cancer. Past treatments: Did not tolerate fiber supplements. Has tried alternative therapies without relief. Now uses intermittent stimulant laxatives and occasional loperamide. What Is our Patient s Most Likely Diagnosis? 1. IBS 2. IBD 3. CC 4. Acute constipation (AC) 5. Celiac disease (CD)?
