Disorders of gut-brain interaction are common diagnoses among infants and toddlers in gastroenterology practices in Latin America.

Objectives: To assess the relative frequency and associated factors of disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBIs) in outpatient gastrointestinal (GI) clinics in young children of Latin America.

Methods: Cross-sectional study in 10 pediatric GI outpatient clinics (private and public) in five countries of Latin America (El Salvador, México, Colombia, Panamá, and Nicaragua). Parents of patients 1 month 4 years of age from outpatient clinics complete/d a diagnostic questionnaire for DGBIs per Rome IV criteria (QPGS-IV, Spanish version).

Cow's milk allergy (CMA) is an immune-based disease that has become an increasing problem. The diagnosis and management of CMA varies from one clinical setting to another and represents a challenge in pediatric practice. In addition, because nonallergic food reactions can be confused with CMA symptoms, there is an overdiagnosis of the disease.
