Core Tip	We compared the prevalence, behavioural and psychological predictors of functional gastrointestinal disorders using ROME Ⅲ and ROME Ⅱ questionnaires in two similar cohorts of eating disorder patients. We found the added timeframe requirement in ROME Ⅲ added precision in diagnosing many Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs). We also found certain FGIDs in ROME Ⅲ are predicted by eating behaviours and appear to have less psychological input compared to ROME Ⅱ. These findings suggest that abnormal eating behaviours may play a more direct role in the disturbed physiology (both sensation and motility) of the gastrointestinal tract and hence the pathogenesis of certain FGIDs.
