This Picmonic is a continuation of IBS Assessment, and here, we describe the interventions for irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS, shown as the irritated bowel-bowl that has been wreaking havoc on people&rsquo;s abdomens. Interventions begin with identifying triggers, shown by the magnifying-glass identifying the trigger. Patients should increase their fiber intake, the empty an up-arrow fiber-box the detectives used to release their secret weapon, a pro-bacteria. This is because probiotics should also be used in patients with IBS. Anticholinergics can be used, the ant-tie-cola who sprays this bowel-bowl. The tricycle ant-tie-depressed emo gets involved and bikes away to get more help, representing that tricyclic antidepressants can also be used. Loperamide can be used to decrease colonic motility, and is shown by the lobster-wine, while linaclotide, also works to decrease colonic motor activation, the licorice. Women can be targeted with specific IBS therapies, such as tegaserod, the tiger-quad, which has the trade-name Zelnorm. &nbsp;Lubiprostone is a stool softener, which is also for women, the lube-pro, which has the trade-name Amitiza. Alosetron is used in severe cases of IBS in women, the A-lasso, and is known by its trade name lotronex. So let&rsquo;s review the interventions for IBS. They begin with identifying the triggers, and patients should increase fiber intake, while probiotics should be given. Anticholinergics can be used, along with tricyclic antidepressants. Loperamide and Linaclotide can also be used. Women can be given tegaserod, lubiprostone, or in severe cases, alosetron.

The medication linaclotide was updated to reflect the proper indications and mechanism of action.

This Picmonic was updated to state that linaclotide increases cGMP.

Now that we know that it was the Irritated Bowel-bowl that has been kidnapping and torturing the abdomens of poor innocent people, my fellow detective and I are on a mission to take this bad bowel-bowl down. &nbsp;But it isn&rsquo;t going to be that easy. &nbsp;Right as we stormed into his warehouse he Identified our Trigger with his Magnifying-glass instantly. &nbsp;We had to act fast, so we dumped out our Up-arrow Fiber-box, which holds our secret weapon, Pro-bacteria. &nbsp;But the bowel-bowl was putting up fight and we had to have Ant-tie-cola spray him with cola to disarm him. &nbsp;Then we had to destroy his toilet torture device. &nbsp;So Ant-tie hopped onto his Tricycle like a Depressed emo and head over to the device. &nbsp;To combat the diarrhea toilet we sent in Lobster-wine and he plugged it up with his bottle. &nbsp;Then for the corked-con constipation toilets we had to extract cork. &nbsp;So we tied Licorice to the cork and used a Tiger-quad to yank it out, but it was wedged in there good. &nbsp;Luckily Lube-pro lubed the cork down and the cork came out with ease. &nbsp;Lastly, I destroyed the last bit of the heinous device with my A-lasso and broke that last toilet in two. &nbsp;Oh bowel-bowl, looks like you're the one whose been pooped.
