Abstract

Background: GI-specific psychological factors are important contributors to patients' symptom experience and quality of life across all disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI). Clinicians' ability to recognize the role of these psychological factors is essential for formulating a biopsychosocial case conceptualization and informing treatment decisions. Purpose: This article will familiarize gastroenterology providers with conceptualizing the role of GI-specific psychological factors in DGBI and provides stepwise, practical guidance for how to assess these during clinical encounters in a time-efficient manner.
