Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic condition characterised by abdominal pain associated with bowel dysfunction and is one of the most common gastroenterology presentations in primary care. The pain is often relieved by defecation and is sometimes accompanied by abdominal bloating, with no structural abnormalities to explain the pain. IBS occurs in up to 20% of the adult population, and its aetiology is multi-factorial. In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson looks at the diagnosis of IBS along with lifestyle options and newer medications now available for its management.
