Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorder and coeliac disease (CD) is an auto-immune enteropathy that can mimic almost any functional GI disorder.

In this cross-sectional study (2008-2010), all consecutive patients with IBS who fulfilled the Rome III criteria attending the GI units in Zahedan (Southeast Iran) were included. Patients based on the sub-type of IBS were classified as diarrhoea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (D-IBS), constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (C-IBS) and alternating symptoms (mixed type). Immunoglobulin A (IgA) tissue transglutaminase (anti-tTG) was used to screen patients for CD. In the case of positive serologic test, duodenal biopsies were taken to confirm the diagnosis. A total of 364 (221 females and 143 males) patients with IBS were included. The mean ± standard deviation (SD) age of patients was 37.4 ± 12.4 years. Twenty (5.5%) patients were found to have positive IgA anti-tTG. Main symptoms of patients were diarrhoea (11/20), bloating (10/20) and abdominal distension (6/20). Thirte...Continue Reading
