Gastrointestinal Disorders at a glance:
According to the International Foundation for Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders, “Functional gastrointestinal (GI) and motility disorders are the most common GI disorders in the general population. In fact, about 1 in 4 people in the U.S. have some activity limitation of daily function due to these disorders. The conditions account for about 41% of GI problems seen by doctors and therapists.
The term “functional” is generally applied to disorders where the body’s normal activities in terms of the movement of the intestines, the sensitivity of the nerves of the intestines, or the way in which the brain controls some of these functions is impaired. However, there are no structural abnormalities that can be seen by endoscopy, x-ray, or blood tests. Thus it is identified by the characteristics of the symptoms and infrequently, when needed, limited tests. The Rome diagnostic criteria categorize the functional gastrointestinal disorders and define symptom based diagnostic criteria for each category.” [1]
Why should I be concerned?
Functional gastrointestinal disorders affect nearly a quarter of all Americans’ quality of life. Vaccines and the chemical additives and adjuvants added to vaccines have been shown to cause a wide array of functional gastrointestinal disorders.
