🙌 As comes to a close, we look back on three inspiring days in Bologna filled with cutting-edge science, lively discussions, and valuable exchanges among colleagues from around the world.

From advances in IBS pathophysiology and Rome V developments to emerging insights into microbiota, nutrition, brain–gut interactions, and future therapeutic strategies, the meeting showcased the remarkable progress being made across the field.

A heartfelt thank you to our outstanding faculty, presenters, sponsors, partners, and all participants whose contributions made this edition of IBS Days such a success.

We leave Bologna with new knowledge, new collaborations, and fresh inspiration for the work ahead. See you at the next IBS Days! 🩵

💪 Three days packed with cutting-edge science, clinical insights, and collaborative discussions shaping the future of IBS care. On the final day of , we bring together the latest advances in pathophysiology, microbiota research, nutrition, and therapeutic innovation.

16/06/2026

🙌 The scientific programme of began with the Rome Foundation Symposium, chaired by Vincenzo Stanghellini and Jan Tack.

The session highlighted key developments shaping the future of IBS and disorders of gut–brain interaction, including updates on Rome Foundation activities, recent insights into IBS pathophysiology, the new Rome V criteria, and centrally mediated disorders of gastrointestinal pain.

Many thanks to Jan Tack, Madhusudan Grover, Anthony Lembo, and Qasim Aziz for sharing their expertise and perspectives with the IBS Days community.

15/06/2026

IBS Days 2026 officially opens with a special ceremony bringing together leaders from the University of Bologna and IRCCS Policlinico di Sant’Orsola, including Congress Chair Giovanni Barbara and Scientific Committee Chair Vincenzo Stanghellini.

The programme continues with an inspiring Inaugural Lecture by Andrea Segrè on the relationship between food waste and the right to food, before participants gather at the Welcome Reception to connect, exchange ideas, and celebrate the start of Hashtag .

We look forward to welcoming the international IBS community to Bologna!

From redefining diagnostic criteria to uncovering the biological mechanisms that drive symptoms, offers a journey through some of the most important questions in IBS today.

▫️ Session I – What’s New in Rome V?
Leading experts from the Rome Foundation will explore the latest developments in disorders of gut–brain interaction, including new pathophysiological insights, updates to IBS diagnostic criteria, and advances in understanding centrally mediated gastrointestinal pain.

▫️ Session II – Beyond the IBS Label
When symptoms point elsewhere: this session focuses on differential diagnosis and the conditions that can mimic IBS, helping clinicians navigate complex presentations with confidence.

▫️ Session III – Decoding IBS Pathophysiology
From genetics and food intolerance to findings from the H2020 DISCOvERIE project, discover how large-scale research is reshaping our understanding of IBS and opening new avenues for personalized care.

Join us in the historic setting of Bologna and engage with the science that is shaping the future of IBS research and clinical practice.
