Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is the most common disorder diagnosed by gastroenterologists and one of the more common ones encountered in general practice. The illness has a large economic impact on health care use and indirect costs, chiefly through absenteeism. IBS is a bio-psychosocial disorder in which three major mechanisms interact: Psychosocial factors, altered motility, and/or heightened sensory function of the intestine. Treatment of patients is based on positive diagnosis of the symptom complex, limited exclusion of underlying organic disease and institution of a therapeutic trial.   doi: 10.3329/taj.v18i1.3310 TAJ 2005; 18(1): 66-71
