According to the ROME IV criteria, Functional dyspepsia (FD) can be subdivided into PDS (postprandial distress syndrome) with meal-related symptoms such as early satiation and postprandial fullness and EPS (epigastric pain syndrome) with meal-unrelated complaints such as epigastric pain or burning…
