Manning criteria

The Manning criteria is a diagnostic algorithm used in the diagnosis of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. The criteria consists of a list of questions the physician can ask the patient. The answers are used in a process to produce a diagnosistic decision regarding whether the patient can be considered to have Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

The Manning Criteria has been compared with other diagnostic algorithms for Irritable Bowel Syndrome, such as the Rome I Criteria, the Rome II Process and the Kruis Criteria.
