چکیده

Dyspepsia is currently defined by Rome III criteria for the diagnosis of functional gastroin‐ testinal disorders (FGIDs), as the presence of one or more of the following symptoms: both‐ ersome postprandial fullness, early satiation, epigastric pain and epigastric burning [1] These are symptoms thought to originate from the gastroduodenal region. Bloating and nausea often coexist with dyspepsia but are considered nonspecific and are thus not included in the Rome III criteria. However, there have been attempts by some researchers to broaden this definition to include more symptoms. The Asian consensus guideline includes bloating, nausea, vomit‐ ing and belching in the definition of dyspepsia [2]
