Tony, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a motility disorder involving the entire gastrointestinal tract. It causes recurring upper and lower gastrointestinal symptoms, including variable degrees of abdominal pain, constipation and/or diarrhoea, and abdominal bloating. You can e-mail me at CyberDoc@mweb.co.za and I’ll cut & paste you something on IBS. Good luck.
