Irritable bowel syndrome was a good articles nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There may be suggestions below for improving the article. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. | ||||||||||

This Wikipedia article says: "Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or spastic colon is a symptom-based diagnosis….No specific laboratory or imaging test can be performed to diagnose irritable bowel syndrome."
However, this may need updating. See here. Anythingyouwant ( talk) 00:35, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
I included the referenced former names for the condition in the introductory sentence not too long ago. However, someone may want to find another source, or a few more, to determine, which former names are more commonly referenced, and remove the ones that are not (or move the lesser sourced ones elsewhere). The introductory sentence just seems kind of long. SchizoidNightmares ( talk) 01:24, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
Why is Eluxadoline listed for management of IBS but not Rifaximin which has also been approved by the FDA in recent years? I haven't even heard of Eluxadoline until now so this seems strange. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.201.166.79 ( talk) 23:12, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
The chronic fatigue syndrome onset is after 60 years and the IBS onset is before 45. Anyone can reliably reconcile this difference? AXONOV (talk) ⚑ 10:36, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
[...] This study is so biased and out of date it shouldn't be used as a reference. [...]
In my humble opinion, this article is way too long and because of this is less accessible. I would suggest dramatically reducing some of the sections and/or moving some areas (e.g. dietary management of IBS) to a separate page Y2k3000 ( talk) 00:55, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
