 | Spastic colon
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), also called spastic colon,
is a chronic (long-lasting) disorder of the colon, or large
intestine. It is the most common gastrointestinal disorder.
It affects women twice as often as men and usually begins in
early adult life. Although the disorder can cause much
distress, it is not serious and does not lead to serious
disease.
