Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), which affects up to 25% of the population in western countries and accounts for up to 50% of referrals to gastroenterologist, remains mainly a diagnosis of exclusion. We have studied, for the first time, prolonged ambulatory motility recordings from the oesophagus, small intestine and colon of a patient who was referred to us with a 12-year history of abdominal pain and a presumptive diagnosis of IBS. The results indicated that the diagnosis was pseudo-obstruction syndrome rather than IBS. Wider clinical use of the new techniques of prolonged ambulatory intestinal motility monitoring in IBS would offer considerable potential not only in achieving a greater understanding of its pathophysiology but also in providing a more precise definition of clinical and therapeutic subgroups.
