Rome II addresses some of the most puzzling - and prevalent - of chronic disorders. Functional gastroinestinal disorders, including irritable bowel syndrome, functional dyspepsia, and chronic functional abdominal pain, are very commonly seen in specialist and generalist medical practices.
 Refining, expanding and updating the earlier Rome Criteria publication, the authors of ROME II report on validation studies of its original diagnostic criteria, new findings in basic and clinical research, the new classification of these disorders in children, and promising new treatments on the horizon.
