BACKGROUND

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a motility disorder involving the entire gastrointestinal tract causing varying degrees of abdominal discomfort and pain, constipation and/or diarrhea and abdominal bloating. In addition, patients often notice a change in the pattern of bowel movement, mucus in the stool, and sensation of incomplete evacuation after defecation. Though the exact cause is unknown and the pathophysiology is not completely understood, it has been found that emotional factors, diet, drugs, chemicals or toxic substances often precipitate or aggravate the condition. Optimal treatment, therefore, must focus on alleviating the gastrointestinal symptoms and eliminating the factors that trigger the bowel irritation.
