Abstract
This review will apply a multidisciplinary approach to GI symptoms with attention
to symptom assessment (instruments and qualitative aspects), differential diagnosis,
and recent findings relevant to management of symptoms and underlying diseases. We
conclude that further development of supportive interventions for GI symptoms for
both patient and caregivers has the potential to reduce distress from GI symptoms,
and anticipate better symptom control with advances in scientific knowledge and improvement
of the evidence base.
