In order to narrow down, isolate,

and formally diagnose people

with irritable bowel syndrome,

the medical community has

set certain parameters.

To be diagnosed with IBS,

the symptoms of IBS must

have occurred in the last three

months, persisted for a

minimum of six months

and occurred with a minimum

frequency of three episodes

per month.
