Irritable bowel syndrome affects people of all ages, including children. The main complaints of the condition in children have to do with abdominal pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea, and constipation. Overly sensitive intestines have muscle spasms in response to foods, gas, and stress.  The spasms cause pain and further spasms.

Irritable bowel syndrome is not a disease.  It is a syndrome or a group of syndromes.  Stress does not cause the syndrome but may trigger it.  In fact, the first attack may come after a particularly stressful event, series of events, or an illness.  It does not damage the intestine and is therefore considered to be a functional disorder.

There is no test to diagnose irritable bowel syndrome in children.  A doctor listening to the symptoms being described by the child and/or parent most often presents the diagnosis.  Irritable bowel syndrome may be diagnosed if the child is having abdominal pain or discomfort and relief of pain upon having a bowel movement. Usually there is a change in the consistency and frequency of the stool when the condition begins. There may also be mucus visible in the stool. The symptoms will have been present in at least twelve weeks during the previous twelve months with no other disease present.

Diagnostic criteria
In 1978, Manning et al. described several abdominal symptoms that were more likely to be present in the irritable bowel syndrome than in organic abdominal disease.

While, In 1988, the Rome I criteria were established by a multinational committee of specialists, which further refined the Manning Criteria.

In 1998, the Rome Working Team proposed changes to the definition and diagnostic criteria for IBS to reflect new research data, and to improve clarity. These criteria have evolved, as the Rome Process has integrated fresh evidence and new conceptual approaches to the condition.
