Functional gastrointestinal disorder
|Classification and external resources|
The Rome process has helped to define the functional gastrointestinal disorders. Successively, the Rome I, Rome II, and the Rome III meetings have proposed a consensual classification system and terminology, as recommended by the Rome Coordinating Committee.
- Functional esophageal disorders
- Functional colonic disease: In medicine, the term functional colonic disease (or functional bowel disorder) refers to a group of bowel disorders which are characterised by chronic abdominal complaints without a structural or biochemical cause that could explain symptoms.
- Functional constipation
- Functional rectal pain
- Functional dyspepsia
- Noncardiac chest pain
- Chronic functional abdominal pain
- Irritable bowel syndrome
Functional gastrointestinal disorders have been found in 60-70% of both Canadian and American populations.
