Food poisoning is presented as the causal risk factor for many IBS cases. Psychological stress is rejected as the causal explanation for IBS in the military study discussed. Food poisoning is estimated to account for roughly 60% of IBS cases. Irritable bowel syndrome is characterized by irritation of the gastrointestinal tract. The article defines IBS by its effect on the gastrointestinal tract rather than by symptoms elsewhere. A 2024 meta-analysis found that about one in seven people who get food poisoning develop IBS indefinitely. IBS is associated with the gastrointestinal tract.
