Resumen
Objetivo: Dilucidar los tratamientos alternativos más eficaces disponibles para el síndrome del intestino irritable (SII), así como sus terapias complementarias. Métodos: Este estudio es una revisión bibliográfica integradora, en la que se realizó una búsqueda exhaustiva de artículos en bases de datos electrónicas, incluyendo PubMed, Medline y Science Direct. La búsqueda se realizó utilizando combinaciones de palabras clave en inglés, como "irritable bowl syndrome", "alternative treatments for bowl", "abdominal pain" y "Monosaccharides and Polyols (FODMAP)". A continuación, se realizó una selección de artículos publicados en los últimos cinco años (2019-2023), abarcando un total de 13 artículos listados. Resultados: Entre los trece artículos seleccionados, dos trataban sobre tratamientos alternativos con acupuntura (10,52%), tres con probióticos (15,78%), seis sobre una dieta elaborada baja en FODMAPs (36,84%) y siete con fitoterapia (36,84%). Sin embargo, la investigación se llevó a cabo en países desarrollados (China, Italia, Polonia), donde aproximadamente el 10-15% de la población padece SII. Sin embargo, Brasil, que tiene una situación similar, no ha presentado ninguna investigación sobre el tema. Consideraciones finales: Los tratamientos de medicina herbaria alternativa de esta revisión demostraron ser estrategias viables para ser empleadas por los gastroenterólogos, principalmente debido a sus efectos beneficiosos complementarios.
