What if anything is the difference in IBS and spastic colon?

No difference whatsoever. Here in the UK, a couple of decades ago, the name was changed from spastic colon to IBS; both terms are equally meaningless as they just mean the medics don't know what's wrong with you.

Not what you're looking for?
