Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS, or spastic colon) is a symptom-based diagnosis characterized by:• Chronic abdominal pain• Discomfort• Bloating• Alteration of bowel habits

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

• As a functional gastrointestinal disorder (FGID), IBS has no known organic cause.

• Diarrhea or constipation may predominate, or they may alternate (classified as IBS-D, IBS-C or IBS-A, respectively).

• Historically a diagnosis of exclusion, a diagnosis of IBS can now be made on the basis of symptoms alone, in the absence of alarm features such as age of onset greater than 50 years, weight loss, gross hematochezia, systemic signs of infection or colitis, or family history of inflammatory bowel disease.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

• Onset of IBS is more likely to occur after an infection (post-infectious, IBS-PI), or a stressful life event, but varies little with age.

• Although there is no cure for IBS, there are treatments that attempt to relieve symptoms, including dietary adjustments, medication and psychological interventions.

• Patient education and a good doctor-patient relationship are also important.
