Abstract

Background: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder of gut–brain interaction characterized by recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel habits. Its clinical expression reflects a complex interaction among biological susceptibility, diet, intestinal microbiota, previous enteric infection, psychological stress, lifestyle, and social context. Beyond gastrointestinal symptoms, IBS can markedly  impair daily functioning, emotional well-being, social participation, work productivity
