Core Tip	Patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) exhibit a significant prolonged colon transit time (CTT) and greater faecal loading compared to healthy people. This may be a guide to a better understanding of IBS since faecal retention may lead to major symptoms like abdominal bloating and pain and defaecation disturbances. The targeted therapy was a prokinetic regime. All the more, CTT/faecal load may serve as a diagnostic procedure.
