Functional Disorders – Irritable Bowel Disorder

Functional disorders are conditions in which symptoms occur without a clear underlying medical cause. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common functional disorder characterised by abdominal pain, bloating and changes in bowel habits. The exact cause of IBS is not fully understood, but factors such as diet, stress and gut microbiota may play a role.
