The<unk>  are a diagnostic algorithm used in the diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The<unk>  consist of a list of questions the physician can ask the patient. The answers are used in a process to produce a diagnostic decision regarding whether the patient can be considered to have IBS. The<unk>  have been compared with other diagnostic algorithms for IBS, such as the Rome I<unk> , the Rome II process, and the Kruis<unk> . A 2013 validation study found the<unk>  to have less sensitivity but more specificity than the Rome<unk> . The threshold for a positive diagnosis varies from two to four of the<unk>  below. # Onset of pain linked to more frequent bowel movements # Looser stools associated with onset of pain # Pain relieved by passage of stool # Noticeable abdominal bloating # Sensation of incomplete evacuation more than 25% of the time # Diarrhea with mucus more than 25% of the time
