Hello,
IBS is not contained to the large intestine, and symptoms can be very different for different people. Irritable Bowel Symdrome is a catch-all phrase that the medical community uses and diagnose people with after all tests are done to rule out other illnesses like Chron's Disease, etc. If they can't classify it as a known disease they call it IBS because they really don't know what is wrong except that something is wrong with the GI tract and people complain about various pains, and cramps in the abdominal region, D, or C, or both, with mucus, etc.
