“…Also, a very recent prospective study in adults with abdominal pain and gallstones assumed to be eligible for cholecystectomy, reported that 34.9% fulfilled criteria for FD and/or IBS, and post‐cholecystectomy, nonbiliary abdominal pain persisted in >40%, particularly in those with both FD and IBS 30 . In addition, in a prospective study with long‐term monitoring of patients with symptomatic and asymptomatic gallstone disease after cholecystectomy, the frequency of heartburn, “bitter taste in the mouth” and diarrhea, increased in patients after 10 years after the surgery 31 …”

“…30 In addition, in a prospective study with long-term monitoring of patients with symptomatic and asymptomatic gallstone disease after cholecystectomy, the frequency of heartburn, "bitter taste in the mouth" and diarrhea, increased in patients after 10 years after the surgery. 31 However, the higher frequency of hysterectomy and pelvic surgery among subjects with esophageal disorders has no clinical explanation. They may be random findings despite their statistical association probably due to the large numbers where most comparisons will rule out the role of chance.…”

Background In Latin America, there are scarce data on the epidemiology of DGBI. The Rome Foundation Global Epidemiology Study (RFGES) Internet survey included 26 countries, four from Latin America: Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico, with a 40.3% prevalence of Rome IV DGBI. We aimed at comparing the prevalence of DGBI and associated factors among these countries. Methods The frequency of DGBI by anatomical region, specific diagnoses, sex, age, diet, healthcare access, anxiety, depression, and HRQOL, were analyzed and compared. Results Subjects included Argentina n = 2057, Brazil = 2004, Colombia = 2007, and Mexico = 2001. The most common DGBI were bowel (35.5%), gastroduodenal (11.9%), and anorectal (10.0%). Argentina had the highest prevalence of functional diarrhea (p = 0.006) and IBS‐D; Brazil, esophageal, gastroduodenal disorders, and functional dyspepsia; Mexico functional heartburn (all <0.001). Overall, DGBI were more common in women vs. men and decreased with age. Bowel disorders were more common in the 18–39 (46%) vs. 40–64‐year (39%) groups. Diet was also different between those with DGBI vs. those without with subtle differences between countries. Subjects endorsing criteria for esophageal, gastroduodenal, and anorectal disorders from Mexico, more commonly consulted physicians for bowel symptoms vs. those from Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia. General practitioners were the most frequently consulted, by Mexicans (50.42%) and Colombians (40.80%), followed by gastroenterologists. Anxiety and depression were more common in DGBI individuals in Argentina and Brazil vs. Mexico and Colombia, and they had lower HRQOL. Conclusions The prevalence of upper and lower DGBI, as well as the burden of illness, psychological impact and HRQOL, differ between these Latin American countries.
