Core Tip	Bloating is one of the most common and bothersome symptoms complained by a large proportion of patients, mostly with functional gastrointestinal disorders, but when bloating is not part of another functional bowel or gastrointestinal disorder it is included as an independent entity in Rome Ⅲ criteria named functional bloating. Despite its clinical, social and economic relevance, bloating lacks a clear pathophysiology explanation and an effective management endorsement. Moreover, it is unclear to what extent subjective complaint of bloating correlates with the objective evidence of abdominal distension. The aim of this paper is to review the latest knowledge on bloating and to explore future research directions to improve its management.
