Ratcliffe, Norman M.; de Lacy Costello, Ben; Shepherd, Sophie

Abstract

Currently, the diagnosis of bowel diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) relies on invasive and expensive procedures. Identification of biomarker-based tests to aid diagnosis is an important area of research. Here we review the use of mass spectrometry in this search and discuss recent findings.
