==Overview==
The diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) relies on recognition of [[Gastrointestinal tract|gastrointestinal]] [[Symptom|symptoms]] that wax and wane and are exacerbated by psychosocial [[Stress (medicine)|stress]]. [[Diagnosis]] of [[Irritable bowel syndrome|IBS]] is based on clinical [[Symptom|symptoms]] and elimination of other organic [[Gastrointestinal tract|gastrointestinal]] diseases. This is due to lack of definitive [[radiological]] or [[Medical laboratory|laboratory]] diagnostic tests in [[Irritable bowel syndrome|IBS]]. The hallmark of [[Irritable bowel syndrome|IBS]] is [[abdominal pain]]. A positive history of [[Stress (medicine)|stress]], [[anxiety]], [[depression]], [[Panic disorder|panic disorders]], [[Gastrointestinal tract|gastrointestinal]] disorders such as [[inflammatory bowel disease]] ([[Inflammatory bowel disease|IBD]]) and acute [[Gastrointestinal tract|GI]] [[infection]] predispose individuals to [[Irritable bowel syndrome|IBS]]. The most common [[Symptom|symptoms]] of [[Irritable bowel syndrome|IBS]] include presence of [[abdominal pain]] and alteration of [[Intestine|bowel]] habits. Less common [[symptoms]] of [[Irritable bowel syndrome|IBS]] include [[flatulence]] and upper [[Gastrointestinal tract|GI]] [[Symptom|symptoms]] such as [[heartburn]], [[Nausea and vomiting|nausea]], [[dyspepsia]] and [[Nausea and vomiting|vomiting]]. 


The underlying biochemical causes of IBS are not well established. As such, there is no specific laboratory test which can be performed to diagnose this condition.<ref name="YAWN_2001">{{cite journal |author=Yawn BP, Lydick E, Locke GR, Wollan PC, Bertram SL, Kurland MJ|title=Do published guidelines for evaluation of irritable bowel syndrome reflect practice? |journal=BMC gastroenterology |volume=1|issue= |pages=11 |year=2001 |pmid=11701092 |doi=}}</ref>  Diagnosis of IBS involves excluding conditions that produce with IBS-like symptoms and then following a procedure to categorize the patient's symptoms.

Because there are many [[List of causes of diarrhea|causes of diarrhea]] and IBS-like symptoms, the [[American Gastroenterological Association]] has published a [[AGA Guidelines for IBS testing| set of guidelines]] for tests to be performed to diagnose other conditions that may have symptoms similar to IBS.  These include gastrointestinal infections, [[lactose intolerance]] and [[coeliac disease]].  Research has suggested that these guidelines are not always followed.<ref name="YAWN_2001" />  Once other causes have been excluded, the diagnosis of IBS is performed using a diagnostic [[algorithm]].  Well-known [[algorithms]] include the [[Manning Criteria]], the [[Rome process|Rome I Criteria]], the [[Rome process|Rome II Process]], the Kruis Criteria, and studies have compared their reliability.<ref name="FASS_2001">{{cite journal |author=Fass R, Longstreth GF, Pimentel M, ''et al''|title=Evidence- and consensus-based practice guidelines for the diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome |journal=Arch. Intern. Med.|volume=161 |issue=17 |pages=2081-8 |year=2001 |pmid=11570936 |doi=}}</ref> The more recent [[Rome process|Rome III Process]] was published in 2006. Physicians may choose to use one of these criteria, or may use other guidelines based on their own experience and the patient's history.  The [[algorithm]] may include additional tests to guard against misdiagnosis of other diseases as IBS.  Such "red flag" symptoms may include weight loss, GI bleeding, anemia, or nocturnal symptoms.  However, researchers have noted that red flag conditions may not always contribute to accuracy in diagnosis &mdash; for instance, as many as 31% of IBS patients have blood in their stool.<ref name="FASS_2001" /> 
Character: Episodic and crampy with a background of constant [[pain]]


The diagnostic [[algorithm]] identifies a name that can be applied to the patient's condition based on the combination of the patient's symptoms of [[diarrhea]], abdominal pain, and constipation.  For example, the statement "50% of returning travelers had developed functional [[diarrhea]], while 25% had developed IBS" would mean that half the travelers had [[diarrhea]] while a quarter had [[diarrhea]] with abdominal pain.  While some researchers believe this categorization system will help physicians understand IBS, others have questioned the value of the system and suggested that all IBS patients have the same underlying disease but with different symptoms.<ref name="TALLEY_2006">{{cite journal |author=Talley NJ |title=A unifying hypothesis for the functional gastrointestinal disorders: really multiple diseases or one irritable gut? |journal=Reviews in gastroenterological disorders|volume=6 |issue=2 |pages=72-8 |year=2006 |pmid=16699476 |doi=}}</ref>

==History==


[[Coeliac disease]] in particular is often misdiagnosed as IBS: <blockquote>
=== Psychosocial history ===
Recognizing celiac disease can be difficult because some of its symptoms are similar to those of other diseases. In fact, sometimes celiac disease is confused with irritable bowel syndrome, iron-deficiency anemia caused by menstrual blood loss, Crohn’s disease, diverticulitis, intestinal infections, and chronic fatigue syndrome. As a result, celiac disease is commonly underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed.<ref>http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/celiac/ - The United States National Institutes of Health Celiac Disease Page</ref></blockquote>

Overview

The diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) relies on recognition of gastrointestinal symptoms that wax and wane and are exacerbated by psychosocial stress. Diagnosis of IBS is based on clinical symptoms and elimination of other organic gastrointestinal diseases. This is due to lack of definitive radiological or laboratory diagnostic tests in IBS. The hallmark of IBS is abdominal pain. A positive history of stress, anxiety, depression, panic disorders, gastrointestinal disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and acute GI infection predispose individuals to IBS. The most common symptoms of IBS include presence of abdominal pain and alteration of bowel habits. Less common symptoms of IBS include flatulence and upper GI symptoms such as heartburn, nausea, dyspepsia and vomiting

Symptoms

Common symptoms

Common symptoms of IBS include abdominal pain, altered bowel habits, bloating and flatulence.

COMMON SYMPTOMS OF IBS
Abdominal pain (major prerequisite for IBS) Site: Variable location

Onset: Sudden/Insidious

Character: Episodic and crampy with a background of constant pain

Relieving factors: Relief on defecation

Aggravating factors: Eating, emotional stress, premenstrual and menstrual phases

Associated factors: Change in frequency or form of stool

Timing: Pain is usually present during waking hours. Nocturnal symptoms are usually present only in severe IBS

Severity: Variable (varies from mild to severe enough to impair quality of life)

Altered bowel habits Altered bowel habits usually present as diarrhea alternating with constipation. One of these tends to be the predominant symptom in the patient. [12][13][13]
Constipation predominant IBS: <3 bowel movements per week Diarrhea predominant IBS: >3 bowel movements per day [14][16]Patients have:
  1. Loose stools in small volumes, aggravated by eating or emotional stress
  2. Stool volume of <200 ml
  3. Stool accompanied by mucus passage
  4. Absence of nocturnal diarrhea
  5. Absence of bleeding
  6. Absence of weight loss or malabsorption
Gas and flatulence

Less common symptoms

LESS COMMON SYMPTOMS OF IBS
Upper gastrointestinal symptoms One fourth of all IBS patients complain of heartburn, nausea, dyspepsia and vomiting
Lower gastrointestinal symptoms

History

Psychosocial history
