As an HCPC-registered dietitian, she has extensive experience supporting families in managing digestive disorders through evidence-based dietary interventions. Bahee is passionate about the role of gut microbiota in paediatric IBS and helps dietitians apply the latest research in clinical practice. With experience in both NHS and private settings, she offers practical, science-backed strategies to improve children's gut health.
In this webinar, Bahee Van de Bor delivers an overview of IBS in children, with a summary of the current management guidelines for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) including an overview of the potential of specific probiotic strains including Bifidobacterium longum 35624®. Bahee shares clinical insights, probiotic strategies, and real-world applications for paediatric IBS management.
Learning Objectives:
- By the end of this session, participants should be able to describe the diagnostic criteria for IBS in children, identify the different IBS subtypes, and recognize red flag symptoms that require further investigation or referral
- Be able to explain how alterations in gut microbiota can contribute to IBS symptom severity through mechanisms such as low-grade inflammation, increased intestinal permeability, and visceral hypersensitivity.
- Understand the latest clinical and real world evidence available regarding the use of specific probiotic strains (with a focus upon the Bifidobacterium longum strain 35624™) as part of the clinical management of IBS symptoms
