About this study

Official title: Interest of Pan Capsule (Small Bowel and Colon Video Capsule) in Symptomatic Patients Suspected of Irritable Bowel Syndrome Requiring Colonoscopy Phase A Feasibility

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic disease characterized by the association of abdominal pain and transit disorders. IBS affects 5 to 10% of the population. There are several forms of IBS: IBS-D (with predominant diarrhea), IBS-C (with constipation predominant) and IBS-M (mixed with alternating diarrhea and constipation). In the absence of a diagnostic test to confirm the existence of this syndrome, the diagnosis of IBS is based on clinical criteria (Rome IV criteria). In patients suspected of IBS, especially in patients with diarrhea (IBS-D or IBS-M), a colonoscopy with biopsies is often proposed in addition to biological tests (Complete Blood Count, C-reactive protein, thyroid stimulating hormon and anti-transglutaminase antibodies) by the physician or gastroenterologist to exclude an organic digestive disease such as celiac disease, IBD (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis), microscopic colitis or even neoplasia.

The colonoscopy is an invasive exploration and does not allow exploration of the entire small bowel.

The development of capsules allowed the exploration of the small bowel more recently of the colon. The new developed pan-capsule allows evaluation of both small bowel and colon.

The aim of this work is to evaluate in patients younger than 50 years, presenting suspicious digestive symptoms of IBS with diarrhea, the interest of a strategy based on the pan-capsule as an alternative to colonoscopy to eliminate a diagnosis of organic digestive disease (celiac disease, IBD, neoplasia, ..).
