Overview
Pathophysiology
IBS is a functional disorder of visceral hypersensitivity which may lead to abdominal discomfort, diarrhea and constipation. [1] [2] [3]
The pathophysiology of IBS is uncertain. It has been postulated that this may be secondary to psychological causes. Yet, some patients with IBS do not have any noteworthy psychological symptoms.[1][2]
