The main symptoms of the bowel dyspepsia are abdominal dyscomfort and changes in the stool frequency and consistency. These symptoms
may originate either from organic disease, or from the functional disorder – irritable bowel syndrome. Approximately one out of
five in general population may be affected, mostly young middle-aged women. To diagnose the irritable bowel syndrome, the organic
disease must be excluded. Therapy of irritable bowel syndrome requires an individual approach, where the psychological intervention,
and dietary and regime measures have to be combined with medical treatment.
