AbstractBACKGROUND & AIMS: Patients with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) have been found to have increased postprandial levels of serotonin (5-HT). Functional dyspepsia (FD) and IBS have been proposed to have common methods of pathogenesis, but little is known about the role of 5-HT in FD.
