Final answer:

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a functional GI disorder with distinct symptoms and no structural damage to the large intestine.


Explanation:

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a gastrointestinal disorder characterized by muscle spasms in the colon leading to symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, and/or diarrhea, with no permanent structural damage to the large intestine. Unlike inflammatory bowel disease, IBS does not cause visible damage on endoscopy. It is essential to differentiate between IBS and other GI conditions for appropriate management.
