Background: Many chronic illnesses are accompanied by impaired cognitive functioning. In people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), there is some research to suggest a decrement in verbal IQ (VIQ), when compared to people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and healthy controls. Although this is an important finding, it is necessary to ensure that Such deficits are not due to methodological problems such as the failure to take into account pre-morbid functioning. Methods: A total of 88 people (11313, N = 29; IBS, N = 29 Controls, N = 30) completed the Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence (WASI), the Wechsler Test of Adult Reading (WATR), the Trait Rumination Questionnaire (TRQ), the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), and the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12). Results: We found evidence of a VIQ decrement in both IBD and IBS groups when measured against both health controls and against their own pre-i-norbid IQ scores (WTAR-Predicted WAIS-III IQ measures). However, the decrement was larger (and of clinical significance) in the IBD group but not in the IBS group. Conclusion: Some tentative evidence is presented which suggests that poor VIQ performance may be due in part to interference from excessive rumination.
