Prevalence and predictors of irritable bowel syndrome in patients with morbid obesity: a cross-sectional study

Abstract: BackgroundIrritable bowel syndrome has been reported as more common in patients with morbid obesity than in the general population. The reason for this association is unknown. The aims of this study were to study the prevalence of irritable bowel syndrome and other functional bowel disorders in patients with morbid obesity, and to search for predictors of irritable bowel syndrome.MethodsPatients opting for bariatric surgery at two obesity centers in South-Eastern Norway were included. Functional bowel disorder… Show more

“…This finding confirms results coming from a population based-study showing a relationship between BMI and GI symptoms such as diarrhea [4]. Several factors are common in both obesity and IBS, such as a diet with high amount of refined carbohydrates, or lipids, and low in fiber, disorder of intestinal motility, gut microbiota alteration and inflammation which may explain the link between the two clinical conditions [38].…”

“…In the meantime, few studies explored the association between obesity and IBS. Data from literature have failed to show a possible association between IBS subtypes prevalence and BMI [37], however among IBS patients, those with abdominal obesity likely report frequent symptoms even after correction for possible confounders [38].…”

“…Panova et al [4] a combination of obesity with dyskinesia of the colon, diverticular disease, and polyposis of the large intestine were diagnosed in 36.28; 28.0; 10.0% of patients respectively. A more frequent combination of obesity and irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBSc) was also found by M. Aasbrenn et al [5]. The prevalence of IBS in obese patients varies in the studied population and ranges from 11.6 to 24.0% in adults [6].…”

“…However, there is a lack of studies investigating associations between perceived intolerance against particular foods and the corresponding s-IgG or s-IgA food antibodies in adults with GI symptoms. The present study addressed this issue in subjects with morbid obesity, a patient group with reportedly high prevalence of gastrointestinal symptoms, including IBS [ 12 14 ]. Interestingly, IBS and obesity also have several pathophysiological features in common, including increased gut permeability [ 15 , 16 ], which could potentially result in increased translocation of food antibodies.…”
