Finally! There have been no updates to the Rome IV criteria for diagnosing IBS since 2016.

But now the Rome Foundation has released the Rome V Criteria. This marks a new era in the classification and care of dysfunctions of the gut-brain interaction (DGBI).

IBS is one of the most common of those dysfunctions.

From the foundation:

This updated DGBI framework reflects the latest science and emphasizes a more compassionate, patient-centered, and biologically grounded approach to diagnosis and treatment. Rome V empowers clinicians to make positive, evidence-based diagnoses, moving beyond exclusion and toward personalized, compassionate care. Building on validated instruments and new translational data, Rome V integrates more rigorous scientific methods to define disease mechanisms and identify clinically relevant subgroups. It broadens the evidence base by incorporating studies in previously under-represented populations and by refining pediatric DGBI categories to align with emerging neurodevelopmental and mechanistic insights.

And to cut to the chase and view the new IBS subset of the Rome V Criteria see here…
