About GI Motility
If you often suffer from digestive symptoms such as heartburn, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain or distention, constipation, or diarrhea – you may be one of the many people worldwide affected by a motility disorder.
Gastrointestinal (GI) motility plays an important role in the health and well-being of persons of all ages. However, the role of GI motility is often misunderstood and sometimes overlooked in diagnosis and treatment of many disease. This website is intended to help increase understanding of GI motility disorders.
The site is sponsored by the International Foundation for Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders (IFFGD). We are a nonprofit education and research organization. A portion of the information provided is in cooperation with the American Neurogastroenterology and Motility Society (ANMS), a professional organization of physicians and researchers. We are grateful to the ANMS for their contributions to the care and treatment of persons affected by GI motility disorders, and their support of the efforts of IFFGD.
