Severe functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorders — now termed disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI) by international expert bodies — are well-recognised medical conditions in which the digestive system does not function normally despite appearing structurally intact on endoscopy, scans, and blood tests. They include conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), functional dyspepsia, gastroparesis, chronic functional abdominal pain, and cyclic vomiting syndrome, among others. Symptoms such as daily abdominal pain, severe bloating, nausea, and unpredictable bowel habits can be as disabling as structural GI disease. Management is multidimensional and long-term, combining targeted dietary changes, symptom-specific medications, gut-brain therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy or hypnotherapy, and specialist multidisciplinary follow-up. The goal is not necessarily complete symptom elimination but meaningful, sustained reduction in severity, flare frequency, and impact on daily life.
A structured, supervised dietary intervention — including the low-FODMAP protocol or gastroparesis-specific nutrition plan — delivered by a specialist GI dietitian to reduce symptom triggers through food.
