Acute gastroenteritis linked to increased odds for postinfection IBS, functional dyspepsia (Healio)

A recent study reported in Healio links acute gastroenteritis to an increased likelihood of developing post-infection irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and functional dyspepsia. The research highlights the long-term gastrointestinal consequences of gastroenteritis, suggesting that patients who experience this acute condition should be monitored for potential chronic digestive issues. Early intervention and appropriate management strategies are recommended to mitigate these risks.
