Notes
Question asked: "How often did this discomfort or pain get better or stop after you had a bowel movement?"
Question was asked when Field 21025 was neither "Never" nor "Prefer not to answer".
The question in this field was taken from the Diagnostic Criteria for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) developed by the Rome Foundation on Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders, used under licence.
