Abstract
Patients presenting with abdominal pain and diarrhea are often labelled as suffering from irritable bowel syndRome, and medications may be used often without success. Advances in the understanding of the causes of the symptoms (including pelvic floor weakness and incontinence, bile salt malabsorption and food intolerance) mean that effective, safe and well tolerated treatments are now available.
