Abstract in brief

Inflammation, particularly mucosal and neuroinflammation, may play a significant role in the development and symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), with evidence showing increased immune activity and changes in gut cells.
The presence of inflammation might link IBS to other gastrointestinal diseases like inflammatory bowel disease, and factors like postinfectious gastroenteritis can trigger ongoing low-grade inflammation that worsens symptoms.
Current research suggests that targeting inflammation could offer new treatment options for IBS, although more studies are needed to understand specific immune response patterns and the potential benefits of anti-inflammatory therapies.]
