- Abstract
Irritable bowel syndrome has a high prevalence. Consensus diagnostic criteria (ROME II) based on symptoms have been established to aid diagnosis. Although coeliac disease can be misdiagnosed as irritable bowel syndrome, no prospective study has been published in which patients with this disorder are investigated for coeliac disease. We aimed to assess the association of coeliac disease with irritable bowel syndrome in patients fulfilling ROME II criteria.
