Abstract

Gastroduodenal symptoms are very common in the general population. The symptoms are classified into four categories according to the newly revised Rome IV criteria: functional dyspepsia (including postprandial discomfort and epigastric pain syndrome), belching disorders (including excessive gastric and supragastric belching), chronic nausea and vomiting syndrome (including chronic nausea vomiting syndrome, cyclic vomiting syndrome, and cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome), and rumination syndrome. Newly developed diagnostic criteria are based on recently published studies. These revised criteria will be very helpful for appropriately managing these patients in a clinical situation.
