Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most frequently diagnosed disorders in general population and medical settings. It accounts for an estimated 28% of patients seen in gastroenterology practice and up to 12% of patients seen in primary care practice.

Most recently, the pharmaceutical industry has begun international marketing campaigns related to new enteric receptor agents. Nevertheless, the etiology and pathogenesis of IBS still are not completely characterized, and no unique morphologic, physiologic, or pathologic pattern that can serve as a marker for the disorder has been identified. Such circumstances where an illness exists without a defined disease create certain diagnostic dilemmas for the clinician: (1) Is IBS a genuine disorder, with clearly definable determinants?
