Abstract in brief

  • There is a notable overlap between irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), including functional heartburn (FH), but clear links are hard to establish due to inconsistent definitions and diagnostic criteria.
  • Many studies include patients with both IBS and GERD without adequately distinguishing FH from GERD using current, standardized diagnostic tools, leading to heterogeneous and sometimes unreliable data.
  • The review emphasizes the need for further research using updated criteria to better understand the specific relationships and pathophysiological differences between IBS, GERD, and FH, which could improve diagnosis and treatment approaches.
