Irritable bowel syndrome is a common disorder affecting up to 4% of men and 8% of women.
This study found that individuals with binge eating disorder had higher rates of IBS even controlling for potential confounding effects of obesity.
The authors noted this finding may be due to a common predisposing factor for both disorders. Additionally, they noted consumption of large quantities of food in short periods of time may put stress on the gastrointestional system that produces IBS symptoms (abdominal pain, bowel frequency disturbances).
