FAQ
These are conditions where symptoms arise from abnormal functioning of the digestive tract, despite normal structure—such as IBS and functional dyspepsia.
The exact cause is not fully understood but may involve gut-brain interaction, stress, diet, hormonal changes, or post-infection changes in the gut.
While not always curable, symptoms can be effectively managed with the right combination of treatments tailored to the individual.
Some tests may be done to rule out other causes, but diagnosis is often based on symptoms and patient history.
