The last paragraph is rather revealing : "However, obstetrician Virginia Beckett, of the Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, urged caution over the findings. IBS is often misdiagnosed and there can be other underlying problems which may contribute to miscarriage," she said. "Women should ensure they take folic acid throughout pregnancy as it reduces the risk of miscarriage. They should also stop smoking, lose weight and eat healthily."

The conclusion in the abstract of the original paper titled Increased Risk of Miscarriage and Ectopic Pregnancy Among Women With Irritable Bowel Syndrome stresses the importance of prenatal care for women with IBS.

Also, the increase was from the normal 6% miscarriages to 7.5% for an overall increase of 25% over the normal percentage.
