Functional bowel disorder

From Ask Dr Wiki

In medicine, the term 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 bowel disorders include, among others:

• Functional dyspepsia
• Non-cardiac chest pain (NCCP)
• Chronic abdominal pain
• Functional constipation
• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

The Rome process has been pivotal in defining 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.
