Twin studies have shown evidence of a genetic component to IBS that runs in families. Several candidate genes have been proposed, but no definitive associations have been established. The family 'predispositions' maybe genetic and passed on from generation to generation that way instead of dysfunctional behavior. Also, many people experience abuse and family dysfunction and they never develop IBS. Go figure

There are dozens of IBS clinical studies that look at psychological components of IBS. Unfortunately, have not illuminate the cause of IBS and it unlikely they will because they use crude measures and techniques. Oh - well - time will eventual tell us what is going in.
