Overview

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) may be classified according to Rome IV criteria into four subtypes/groups: IBS with predominant constipation , IBS with predominant diarrhea, IBS with mixed bowel habits,and IBS unclassified. In addition, IBS occuring subsequent to GI infections is known as PI-IBS or post infectious IBS.

Classification

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) may be classified according to Rome IV criteria into 4 subtypes:

  1. IBS with predominant constipation
  2. IBS with predominant diarrhea
  3. IBS with mixed bowel habits: alternating patterns of stool passage which is not in conjuncture with the normal bowel movements.
  4. IBS unclassified: Patients who meet the diagnostic criteria for IBS but whose bowel habits do not fit into any of the above subtypes.
  5. IBS-PI or post infectious IBS. It is an additional subtype described that occurs subsequent to infections of the GI tract.
SUBTYPE HARD OR LUMPY STOOLS LOOSE(MUSHY) OR WATERY STOOLS
IBS with constipation ≥ 25 percent  ≤ 25 percent
IBS with diarrhea  ≤ 25 percent ≥ 25 percent
Mixed IBS ≥ 25 percent ≥ 25 percent
Unsubtyped IBS Insufficient abnormality of stool consistency to meet criteria for IBS with constipation, diarrhea, or mixed subtypes.
