Abstract

Functional bowel disorders (FBD) are extremely common all over the globe. Enhancing knowledge of FBD is essential because they have a detrimental effect on the healthcare system. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one such FBD where recurrent abdominal pain is associated with a change in bowel habits. Many conditions mimic IBS which include celiac disease, microscopic colitis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), lactose and fructose intolerance, etc. In order to correctly differentiate these disorders from IBS, limited testing may be necessary. Considering these overlapping conditions we thought of developing a questionnaire to help the physicians diagnose IBS based on a scoring system. A set of questions were drafted based on patient complaints and each question had a scoring system. Basis the patient's response to each question the total score would help the physicians understand if the patient is suffering from IBS. This is a brand-new grading system that has not yet undergone testing. The medical community is urged to evaluate the scoring system's usefulness and provide input so that it can be improved.
