Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

According to BS Rome III Criteria
>12 wk in the past 12 months of abdominal discomfort plus pain that has 2 out of 3 features

1. Relieved with defecation
2. Associated with a change in frequency of stool
3. Associated with a change in consistency of stool

The following are supportive, but not essential to the diagnosis:
1. Abnormal stool frequency (>3/d or Abnormal stool form (lumpy/hard/loose/watery) >1/4 of defecation
2. Abnormal stool passage (straining, urgency, feeling of incomplete evacuation) >1/4 of defecation
3. Passage of mucus >1/4 of defecation
4. Bloating

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions.
