Abstract		Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional bowel disorder characterized by symptoms of abdominal pain or discomfort and associated with disturbed defecation. The syndrome is understood in terms of multiple physiological determinants contributing to a common set of symptoms rather than as a single disease entity. Diagnosing the patients with IBS should include 3 steps. First, determine whether the patient at first encounter meets the Rome diagnostic criteria for IBS. Second, conduct a history and physical examination looking for so-called "alarm factors". Third, perform diagnostic testing.
