Abstract
- Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) are common and may be serious. As such disorders are identified principally on the basis of their symptoms, symptom-based classifications assume great importance. The Rome diagnostic criteria for FGIDs are widely used in both research and practice. Over time, the criteria have been revised as new data accumulate; the Rome IV criteria were recently released. The changes from the Rome III criteria principally reflect the data of literature reports and committee recommendations based on all available evidence. Here, we offer a historical perspective and discuss the Rome IV changes.
