Core Tip	Stress has an important role in the pathogenesis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and palatable foods have been used as an ameliorator for psychological stress. Several reports have supported the hypothesis that palatable foods are used for consolation from psychological stress. Thus we hypothesized that hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis function and immune status in the plasma and colon could be altered by chronic stress, and these changes could be attenuated by concurrent ingestion of sweet food. These results imply that reducing the effect of stress appropriately by any means is important for preventing induces gastrointestinal symptoms in a patient with IBS.
