Background & AimsAlthough functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs), now called of gut-brain interaction, have major economic effects on health care systems and adversely affect quality life, little is known about their global prevalence distribution. We investigated the factors associated with 22 FGIDs, in 33 countries 6 continents.MethodsData were collected via Internet 24 countries, personal interviews 7 both 2 using Rome IV diagnostic questionnaire, III irritable bowel syndrome...

Because acute infectious gastroenteritis may cause post-infection irritable bowel syndrome and functional dyspepsia the severe respiratory coronavirus-2 affects gastrointestinal (GI) tract, coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) post-infection-functional GI disorders (FGIDs). We prospectively studied frequency spectrum of post-infection-FGIDs among COVID-19 historical healthy controls risk factors for its development.

BackgroundThe gastric acid barrier, an important host defence against small bowel infection, may be compromised by infection with Helicobacter pylori. In developing countries, H.pylori occurs early in life and prevelance of hypochlorhydria is high particularly the malnourished, which predispose a child to repeated gastrointestinal Infection diarrhoea. Diarrhpea being leading cause childhood mortality morbidity we investigated H. pylori children poor Bangladeshi community explored its...
