Abstract:
Some studies suggested that patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are more likely to develop inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) than the general population, which may lead to over-examination in some IBS patients. On the other hand, patients with IBD often have IBS-like symptoms, which may in turn lead to a delay diagnosis of IBD. Therefore, whole digestive tract examination must be carried out to exclude IBD in patients with IBS-like symptoms and having "high risk factors". The incidence of IBS increased in patients with IBD in remission. Such IBS in IBD patients should also be diagnosed and treated in time.
