Motor Function in Irritable Bowel Syndrome by Michael Camilleri

“…Physiological studies implicate a disturbance of transit through the small bowel and proximal colon, and abnormal motor responses of the rectum to distention in IBS patients. Intestinal contractions (physiological or ‘abnormal’) are associated with the sensation of pain, suggesting that these contractions are interactions between abnormal motor and sensory functions in IBS. …”
