| |
| The exact pathogenesis of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is uncertain. It is understood that IBS is caused by the interaction of various factors:
| |
| *'''Gastrointestinal motor abnormalities'''
| |
| **IBS is referred to as ‘spastic colon’ due to changes in colonic motor function.
| |
| **Manometry recordings from the transverse, descending and sigmoid colon have shown that spastic colon leads to changed patterns of colonic and small intestinal motor function such as increased frequency and irregularity of luminal contractions.<ref name="pmid8789897">{{cite journal |vauthors=Schmidt T, Hackelsberger N, Widmer R, Meisel C, Pfeiffer A, Kaess H |title=Ambulatory 24-hour jejunal motility in diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome |journal=Scand.

| *'''CNS dysregulation'''
| |
| ** The conceptualization of IBS being a brain gut disorder is reinforced by the following:
| |
| *** Epidemiological studies suggest that IBS occurs in individuals who have experienced childhood trauma, with symptom exacerbation occurring in patients with emotional disturbances or stress.<ref name="pmid27061107">{{cite journal |vauthors=Park SH, Videlock EJ, Shih W, Presson AP, Mayer EA, Chang L |title=Adverse childhood experiences are associated with irritable bowel syndrome and gastrointestinal symptom severity |journal=Neurogastroenterol.

| |
| *** Traumatic experiences before the age of 18 can directly shape adult connectivity in the executive control network. The effects on structures such as the insula, anterior cingulate cortex and the thalamus have been implicated in the pathophysiology of central pain amplification.<ref name="pmid25003944">{{cite journal |vauthors=Gupta A, Kilpatrick L, Labus J, Tillisch K, Braun A, Hong JY, Ashe-McNalley C, Naliboff B, Mayer EA |title=Early adverse life events and resting state neural networks in patients with chronic abdominal pain: evidence for sex differences |journal=Psychosom Med |volume=76 |issue=6 |pages=404–12 |year=2014 |pmid=25003944 |pmc=4113723 |doi=10.1097/PSY.0000000000000089 |url=}}</ref>
| |
| *** IBS has been found to have a high association with pre-existing psychiatric and psychological conditions like anxiety and depression.<ref name="pmid27144627">{{cite journal |vauthors=Mearin F, Lacy BE, Chang L, Chey WD, Lembo AJ, Simren M, Spiller R |title=Bowel Disorders |journal=Gastroenterology |volume= |issue= |pages= |year=2016 |pmid=27144627 |doi=10.1053/j.gastro.2016.02.031 |url=}}</ref> However, studies have shown that even when patients are not anxious or depressed, the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex activity is reduced, pointing directly towards CNS dysfunction and increased susceptibility to stressors.<ref name="pmid22108191">{{cite journal |vauthors=Larsson MB, Tillisch K, Craig AD, Engström M, Labus J, Naliboff B, Lundberg P, Ström M, Mayer EA, Walter SA |title=Brain responses to visceral stimuli reflect visceral sensitivity thresholds in patients with irritable bowel syndrome |journal=Gastroenterology |volume=142 |issue=3 |pages=463–472.e3 |year=2012 |pmid=22108191 |pmc=3288538 |doi=10.1053/j.gastro.2011.11.022 |url=}}</ref>
| |
| *** Psychological therapies that act on cerebral cortical sites and antidepressants have proven to be one of the mainstays of therapy for patients. The role of probiotics in modifying signal processing in the brain also proves that IBS is a brain gut disorder. <ref name="pmid23474283">{{cite journal |vauthors=Tillisch K, Labus J, Kilpatrick L, Jiang Z, Stains J, Ebrat B, Guyonnet D, Legrain-Raspaud S, Trotin B, Naliboff B, Mayer EA |title=Consumption of fermented milk product with probiotic modulates brain activity |journal=Gastroenterology |volume=144 |issue=7 |pages=1394–401, 1401.e1–4 |year=2013 |pmid=23474283 |pmc=3839572 |doi=10.1053/j.gastro.2013.02.043 |url=}}</ref>
| |
| *** Studies using advanced brain imaging techniques have analyzed differences in brain activity and have helped us appreciate that the mid-cingulate cortex (responsible for attention processes and responses) and the prefrontal cortex(responsible for vigilance and alertness of the human brain) are involved in IBS. <ref name="pmid25003944" />
| |
| *** Modulation of the mid-cingulate cortex is associated with alterations in the subjective sensations of pain whereas prefrontal cortex modulation may lead to increased perception of visceral pain.<ref name="pmid25003944">{{cite journal |vauthors=Gupta A, Kilpatrick L, Labus J, Tillisch K, Braun A, Hong JY, Ashe-McNalley C, Naliboff B, Mayer EA |title=Early adverse life events and resting state neural networks in patients with chronic abdominal pain: evidence for sex differences |journal=Psychosom Med |volume=76 |issue=6 |pages=404–12 |year=2014 |pmid=25003944 |pmc=4113723 |doi=10.1097/PSY.0000000000000089 |url=}}</ref>

Many factors contribute to visceral hyperalgesia(i.e increased sensitivity of the intestines to normal sensations):
| |
| *** Spinal hyperexcitability due to activation of an N-methyl D aspartate(NMDA) receptor, Nitric oxide and possibly other neurotransmitters.
| |
| *** Activation of specific gastrointestinal mediators like kinins and serotonin that lead to afferent nerve fiber sensitization.
| |
| *** Central (brainstem and cortical) modulation with increased activation of anterior circulate cortex, thalamus and insula, involved in processing of pain, translating into long term hypersensitivity due to neuroplasticity, causing semipermanent changes in the neural response to all kinds of visceral stimulation. These findings have been proven by brain imaging studies.

| * '''Immune activation and mucosal inflammation'''

| Initially, IBS was considered a psychosomatic illness, and the involvement of biological and pathogenic factors was not verified until the 1990s, a process common in the [[history of emerging infectious diseases]]. The risk of developing IBS increases six-fold after acute gastrointestinal infection. Post-infection, further risk factors are young age, prolonged [[fever]], [[anxiety]] and [[depression]].<ref>{{cite journal | author = Thabane M, Kottachchi DT, Marshall JK | title = The incidence and prognosis of post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome. | journal = Aliment Pharmacol Ther | volume = 26 | issue = 4 | pages = 535-44 | year = 2007 | pmid = 17661757}}</ref>
