Amaç: Gastointestinal sistemin fonksiyonel bozuklukları toplumda oldukça yaygın görülmektedir. İçinde bulunduğumuz bilgi çağında; semptomların internette aratılması özellikle gençler arasında yaygındır. Mevcut çalışma yaygın gastrointestinal semptomlara ait Google search istatistiklerinin değerlendirilmesini amaçlamaktadır.
Gereç Yöntem: bu infodemiyolojik çalışma Google Trends verisi kullanılarak yapılmıştır.
Bulgular: İshal ve kabızlık kelimelerinin aratılma hacimleri mevsimsel özellikler göstermektedir. İshal terimi yaz aylarında daha çok aratılmaktayken diğer gastrointestinal semptomlar mevsimsel özellikler göstermemekteydi.
Sonuç: Google Trends verisinin yaz aylarında görülen viral gastroenteritlerle ilişkili olduğu görülmüştür. Aratılma hacimleri bazı hastalıkların mevsimsel özelliklerini inceleme alternatif bir yöntem olarak kullanılabilir.

Background: Functional disorders of the gastrointestinal system are very common in general population. In the digital era, search for information about their disorders is very popular especially in young population. The current study aimed to evaluate the Google search statistics of common gastrointestinal symptoms.
Material and method: This infodemiological study was performed using Google Trends data; which simply gives the search popularity of a given search term according to the given time period and region.
Results: Related search volumes for terms constipation and diarrhea showed seasonal variations. Related search volume for diarrhea was detected to be higher in summer time. Whereas, other gastrointestinal symptoms showed no seasonal variations.
