Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders

Detailed Description

The etiology of these disorders remains uncertain and thought to be due to subtle alteration of the normal development or maladaptive behavioral response to a variety of internal or external stimuli .As a group of disorders; FGIDs in young children are a major challenge to the already overstretched pediatric gastroenterology services across the world .Infants and young children with FGIDs visit medical professionals more frequently and experience poor quality of life . In addition, FGIDs in infancy are linked with detrimental repercussions such as maternal depression, poor infant and mother bonding,and poor physical growth .
