In this webcast, national gastroenterology experts review the diagnosis of chronic constipation, differentiating between irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) and chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC), and provide recommendations for nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic strategies to improve patient outcomes.
