Diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome(IBS-D)is a clinically common functional gastrointestinal disease,the"SCFAs-intestinal barrier"pathway plays an important role in the pathogenesis of IBS-D.Traditional Chinese medicine monomers/compounds or Chinese medicine compound can treat IBS-D by regulating the"SCFAs-intestinal barrier"through multiple pathways and multiple targets.This article takes the relationship between SCFAs and the four major intestinal barriers,as well as the mediating effect of IBS-D,as the starting point to systematically review and sort out the relevant literature on the targeted regulation of"SCFAs-intestinal barrier"in the treatment of IBS-D by Traditional Chinese medicine monomers/compounds and Chinese medicine compound;explores the theoretical basis of IBS-D caused by"SCFAs-intestinal barrier"from the perspective of"Large intes-tine dominating fluid",in order to provid ideas for Traditional Chinese medicine to establish a precision treatment system with Chinese medicine characteristics.
