4. INCIDENCE
Prevalence 3 - 22% world-wide Reason for 20 - 50%
of gastroenterology visits.

revalence rate.
26%prevalence among children with recurrent
abdominal pain.

Female > Male (3:1)
5. ETIOLOGY
Abnormal gastrointestinal (GI) tract

A change in the nervous system
communication between the GI and brain
Sensory and motor disorders of the colon.
Dietary allergies or food sensitivities.
Neurotransmitter imbalance“(Decrease sero
tonin levels that control nerve signals bet
ween the brain and digestive tract.).
Stress
6. •Gender - About twice as many women as men hav
e the condition. It’s not clear why, but some researc
hers think the changing hormones in the menstrual c
ycle may have something to do with it.
•Age - IBS can affect people of all ages, but it's mor
e likely for people in their teens through their 40s.
•Family history - The condition seems to run in f
amilies. Some studies have shown that the genes ma

RISK FACTORS
7. •Mental health— anxiety, depression, personality
disorder, and history of abuse are all associated risk
factors
•Food sensitivities - Foods like dairy, wheat, a s
ugar in fruits called fructose, or the sug
ar substitute sorbitol. Fatty foods, carbonated drink

he proportion of total stools using the Bristol Stool Form Scal
e be used to classify
IBS with predominant diarrhea (>25% loose/watery, <25% hard/

IBS with predominant constipation (>25% hard/lumpy, <25% loose/
watery),
Mixed-type IBS (>25% loose/watery, >25% hard/lumpy), and IBS un
13. DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION

1.Improved pain with defecatio
n
2.Altered frequency of defecati
on
3.Altered consistency of stool

DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION

ckage or inflammation in your intestines
•Upper endoscopy if you have heartburn or indigestion
•X-rays and CT scan Tests to look for problems with your bowe
l muscles
•Blood tests to look for anemia (too few red blood cells), thyroi
d problems, and signs of infection
