  • Description: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs), including irritable bowel syndrome and functional dyspepsia, are common afflictions within the general population. Both conditions have a considerable impact on the daily health related quality of life (HRQoL) of affected individuals. Risk factors surrounding any impaired HRQoL in patients with GERD involve those of younger age, obesity, an increase in reflux symptom frequency, and overlapping FGIDs. The risk factors for subjects experiencing an overlap in FGIDs and GERD involve those who are female, younger age, cigarette smoking, non-erosive reflux disease, more GERD symptoms, and psychological performances including anxiety, somatization, and more frequent healthcare-seeking behavior. The overlap of GERD and FGIDs is associated with a worsening of both physical and mental health, an increase in bothersome symptoms, impaired functional capacity, and a higher likelihood of consulting a physician. Acid secretion suppressors could offer therapeutic efficacy to some patients experiencing overlapping GERD and FGIDs. (J Neurogastroenterol Motil 2021;27:176-184)
