The survey enquired for demographics, symptom\u2010based criteria for Rome IV DGBI, healthcare use, non\u2010GI somatic symptoms, and quality of life. As a separate analysis, we evaluated which DGBI are considered core knowledge at undergraduate medical school level and post\u2010graduate specialization level for Gastroenterologists and General Practitioners.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The overall prevalence of DGBI across Great Britain was 37%, being similar for England (37%), Scotland (33%), and Wales (36%); <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.66. There was no difference between English regions (range 33%\u201343%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.26). The prevalence of DGBI was highest in those aged 18\u201340\u00a0years (40%), then 40\u201364\u00a0years (37%), and least amongst those \u226565\u00a0years (29%); <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001. The most common DGBI were bowel disorders (30%), followed by gastroduodenal (10.5%), anorectal (8.1%) and oesophageal disorders (6.2%). Individuals with DGBI were significantly more likely than those without DGBI to have increased GI\u2010related healthcare visits, medication use, surgical interventions, non\u2010GI somatic symptoms, and reduced quality of life. One\u2010in\u2010three people with DGBI had multiple GI organ regions involved and this correlated with increased health impairment (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001).<\/jats:p><jats:p>The only DGBI mentioned across all medical training curricula is irritable bowel syndrome, while the General Practitioner and Gastroenterology Curricula also recognise the outdated term non\u2010ulcer dyspepsia (as opposed to functional dyspepsia). The 2010 Gastroenterology Curriculum also includes functional constipation and disordered defecation, with the incoming 2022 iteration adding in functional upper GI syndromes, functional abdominal pain, and opioid\u2010induced GI disturbances.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Disorders of gut\u2010brain interaction are common across Great Britain and incur substantial health impairment.
