• There are no x-ray findings associated with IBS.
• Imaging studies are of limited value and should be considered on an individual basis.
• Obstruction, stool retention and aerophagia may be ruled out on an upright abdominal radiograph during a pain episode.
•  In IBS patients presenting with dyspepsia, upper GI radiographs help rule out other causes.
• Small bowel barium radiography helps in the diagnosis of:
  • Ileal and jejunal Crohn disease
  • Diverticula
• In IBS patients of age >40 years with alarm features, an contrast barium enema should also be performed.
