title: Quality of life in functional gastrointestinal disorders: assessment and management.
abstract: Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) represent a major burden for the patients, GPs and gastroenterologists. The chronic complaints and psychological disorders associated to the digestive symptoms lead to an impairment of the quality of life. A correct assessment of each functional gastrointestinal disorder is necessary in order to better manage these embarrassing conditions. The advent of Rome III will improve this approach.
