“…From our study, we noticed a significant relationship between IBS and depression, as well as we noticed a significant relationship between daily water intake and IBS. This finding is not so consistent with another study where an insignificant association was found between whole‐day water consumption and odds of IBS among the adult population 22 . From the analysis of our survey data, we found that 118 respondents had active IBS, and among them, the most predominant (54.2%) category of IBS was IBS‐C.…”

So, for our study population, household family income may not be a cause of IBS condition, and this report is matched with a previous study where IBS was not a big problem in lower socioeconomic groups.…”

Background: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a very common gastrointestinal disorder worldwide, but research regarding this disease is rare in Bangladesh. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of IBS and its associated risk factors among university students in Bangladesh. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. A total of 300 randomly selected participants were included in this study. By using a structured questionnaire and anthropometric methods, we collected all the required data for our study. The diagnosis of IBS was based on Rome III criteria. Results: The overall prevalence of IBS was 39.3%, but the majority (77.3%) had no basic awareness of IBS. In our study, anxiety and depression (χ 2 = 6.817; odds ratio [OR] = 1.910; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.172, 3.113; P = 0.011) had a significant relationship with IBS and IBS had a significant (P < 0.001) relationship with food intolerance (χ 2 = 8.737; OR = 2.130; 95% CI = 1.284, 3.531), chest pain (χ 2 = 7.482; OR = 2.035; 95% CI = 1.218, 3.401), and insomnia (χ 2 = 19.320; OR = 2.907; 95% CI = 1.794, 4.709). In our dietary data, the intake patterns of vegetables (P = 0.000), fast food (P = 0.000), and tea-coffee (P = 0.003) showed a strong significant association with IBS. On the other hand, monthly household income (P = 0.154) and body mass index (BMI) (P = 0.138) showed no significant association with IBS. Among our study subjects, IBS-constipation (54.2%) was more common than IBS-diarrhea (27.1%) and IBS-mixed (18.6%). Moreover, among the 118 IBS respondents, 67.8% had a headache with increased flatulence (95.8%) as the most common IBS-related complication. Conclusion: IBS is common in university students of Bangladesh and is associated with anxiety, depression, and particular dietary patterns.

“…In contrast, Salari-Moghaddam et al (2020) reported a double risk of having irritable bowel syndrome among those who drank eight glasses or more water/day compared with those who drank two glasses or less. On the other hand, our casuistry failed to see an association between water consumption and IBS diagnosis; it is also important to note that these authors found no difference between water intake between women and men [ 49 ]. Furthermore, in the work by Zaribaf et al, it was found that those who drink many fluids during, before, or after meals have a lower risk of developing a functional bowel disorder [ 50 ].…”

Gastrointestinal functional disorders are characterized by abnormalities in motility with visceral hypersensitivity, representing a global public health problem. We aimed to determine whether eating habits, lifestyle characteristics, and body mass index (BMI) are associated with gastrointestinal health risk. The Gastrointestinal Health (GIH) test of the World Gastroenterology Organization (WGO) and the Roma IV criteria were applied. We obtained information on food consumption habits and aerobic exercise, among other variables. Not exercising regularly, drinking water and eating vegetables less than recommended, having high body weight, and taking symptomatic medication were variables that explained 73% of the probabilities of not having good GIH (R2 = 0.734). According to Rome IV criteria, women had a 50% higher risk than men of having functional bowel disorder (RR 1.6, 95% CI: 1.04, 2.45). Among the men studied, eating few or no vegetables and drinking less than 1 L of water daily was more frequent; however, the women had significantly more intestinal symptoms. In addition, constipation was higher among women than men (p = 0.020). All of the above explains the prognostic value of eating habits and the importance of paying attention to body weight to reduce the risk of gastrointestinal disease.

“…The related problems in the questionnaire are strictly formulated according to the criteria to improve the accuracy of IBS diagnosis. Furthermore, many researchers use self-reported questionnaires to evaluate IBS, demonstrating the high reliability of the diagnostic results of this method [ 56 , 57 , 58 ]. Sixth, we cannot identify people with more than one eating style now, but we will work to overcome this challenge in the next step of our research.…”

(1) Background: Few studies have investigated the association between eating styles and IBS. This study aimed to explore the association between abnormal eating styles and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). (2) Methods: This cross-sectional study investigated students in China Medical University and Shenyang Medical College. Eating styles were evaluated by the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ), and IBS was diagnosed according to Rome III criteria. Logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). (3) Results: A total of 335 students were diagnosed with IBS. Students with the total scores in tertile 2 and 3 had 1.29 times and 2.75 times higher risk of IBS than students with the total scores in tertile 1, respectively. Simultaneously, the risk of IBS in the tertile 3 of external eating, emotional eating, and restraint eating trends was 3.87 times, 2.71 times, and 3.82 times higher than that of tertile 1, respectively. (4) Conclusions: this study showed that a high score in both total eating styles and each eating style was associated with the odds of having IBS and suggested that the psychological factors behind eating styles may play a critical role in controlling the IBS.
