Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), originally known to be a member of the nerve growth factor family, has aroused attention as a modulator in visceral hyperalgesia recently. Visceral hypersensitivity is recognized as a clinical hallmark in IBS patients. So in this study, the investigators will focus on the role of BDNF in colonic hyperalgesia in IBS patients.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common functional gastrointestinal disorder characterized by recurrent abdominal pain or discomfort associated with altered bowel habits in the absence of structural and biochemical abnormalities.
two mucosal biospecimens will be obtained from the rectosigmoid junction from each patient.
