Typical and atypical symptoms from acid reflux, dyspepsia, chronic constipation, fecal incontinence, and irritable bowel syndrome are extremely common in adults and remain so in the geriatric population. The presence of these problems may have profound effects on the functional status, independence, and quality of life in the vulnerable older population, making it essential for physicians to inquire actively about them and to be able to recognize atypical presentations when appropriate. This article summarizes the definitions, epidemiology, clinical presentation, and impact of these common problems in the geriatric patient.
