Quigley, MD, FACG, about the findings from the first systematic review of the literature of irritable bowel syndrome symptoms in inflammatory bowel disease. In the review, Dr. Ford and his co-investigator Stephen J. Halpin, MD, demonstrated that prevalence of symptoms compatible with IBS in patients with IBD is as high as 40%.
