RESULT INTERPRETATION 1 These results are consistent with the diagnosis of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)† These results are inconclusive; further testing suggested † A positive IBSchek™ result suggests that there is a >90% specificity for IBS and that the IBS may be due to previous gastroenteritis. An inconclusive IBSchek result does not exclude IBS. It might mean that further studies are needed to rule out other causes for the patient’s gastrointestinal complaints. COMMENTS Reference 1.
