“…A study conducted among students aged 18 to 30 showed an incidence of IBS of 24% [7]. Morbidity in the Northern Hemisphere is estimated at about 10%, and the incidence rates differ depending on the criteria for diagnosis and are 9.1% (according to Manning criteria), 6.7% (Rome I), 7.8% (Rome II) and 9.1% (Rome III) [1, 8].…”

These guidelines constitute an update of the previous “Recommendations on the management of irritable bowel syndrome” issued in 2008. They have been developed by a Task Force organized by the Governing Board of the Polish Society of Gastroenterology. They discuss, with particular emphasis on new scientific data covering papers published since 2008, the aetiology, epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic principles and criteria for the diagnosis, and recommendations for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The English-language acronym for the syndrome (IBS) has become popular in medical and popular scientific language. It is also widely recognized by patients who identify with this diagnosis. Therefore, in the discussed guidelines, this is what we will use.

“…Data from other military-orientated IBS studies do not exist for direct comparison, whereas population-based studies from different countries [61][62][63][64] reported only contradictory results on the predominant subtype. This paradoxical at first glance phenomenon is in consistency with the Rome IV approach, where this classical subtyping lost its previous importance as the four known subtypes are no longer considered distinct disorders, but as a continuous spectrum of clinical features where the predominance of bowel habits during the time of disturbed bowel movement along with pain could be expressed variably in the same individual and may cause a switch or overlapping of subtypes with related changes in stool habit over time [40,54].…”

Introduction Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the gut-brain axis interaction disorders. It has global distribution with varying prevalence and particular financial and psychological consequences. IBS has been associated with stress and anxiety, conditions that are usually prevalent in the army. There are scarce data investigating the impact of IBS on noncombat active duty military without reports of Greek military or stress in the occupational environment. Materials and methods The main exclusion criteria in our noncombat military multicenter prospective survey were gastrointestinal pathologies, malignancies, hematochezia, recent infections and antibiotics prescription, and pregnancy. Questionnaires included a synthesis of baseline information, lifestyle, and diet, psychological and stress-investigating scales and the IBS diagnosis checklist. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and Rome IV criteria were utilized. Results Among 1605 participants included finally, the prevalence of IBS was 8% and 131 cases were identified. Women were more vulnerable to IBS, although male sex was prevalent at a ratio of 3.5 : 1 (male : female) in the entire sample. The mean age of all participants was 23.85 years; most of the IBS patients were older than thirty. Abnormal anxiety scores and high levels of occupational stress were related to an IBS diagnosis. Discussion This prospective multicenter survey showed, for the first time, the potential impact of occupational stress on IBS in active duty noncombat Greek Military personnel. The diagnosis of IBS by questionnaire is a quick, affordable way that can upgrade, by its management, the quality of life and relieve from the military burden. Our results are comparable with previous studies, although large-scale epidemiological studies are required for the confirmation of a possible causative relationship.

“…[ 4 , 5 ] The other study also reported that it has 24.0% prevalence at a sex ratio of 3:1 with female predominance. [ 6 , 7 ] This condition has 4 types with diarrhea predominant IBS (BP-IBS), constipation-predominant IBS, mixed diarrhea, and constipation-predominant IBS, and alternating diarrhea and constipation-predominant IBS. [ 8 – 9 ] Of these, BP-IBS is the most common type.…”

This retrospective study investigated the effectiveness and safety of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) as an adjunctive therapy to drotaverine hydrochloride (DHC) in patients with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (BP-IBS).A total of 108 patient cases with BP-IBS were included in this study. Of these, 54 cases were assigned to a treatment group and received NMES and DHC, whereas the other 54 subjects were assigned to a control group and underwent DHC alone. All patients were treated for a total of 4 weeks. Primary outcomes were measured by the visual analog scale (VAS), and average weekly stool frequency. Secondary outcome was measured by the Bristol scale. In addition, adverse events were documented. All outcome measurements were analyzed before and after 4-week treatment.Patients in the treatment group did not show better effectiveness in VAS (P = .14), and average weekly stool frequency (P = .42), as well as the Bristol scale (P = .71), compared with the patients in the control group. Moreover, no significant differences in adverse events were found between 2 groups.The results of this study showed that NMES as an adjunctive therapy to DHC may be not efficacious for patients with BP-IBS after 4-week treatment.
