Functional gastrointestinal
disorders are common in children and adolescents with complaints of abdominal
pain. The most common pediatric functional GI condition is functional abdominal
pain. Children with this disorder usually experience recurrent pain in the
middle of the abdomen. When the abdominal pain or discomfort is relieved by
stooling or is connected with a change in the frequency or consistency of the
stool, we call that irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Patients with this
condition can have mucus (but not blood) in the stool and feel and look
bloated.
When the pain is in the upper
abdomen and not related to stool changes, the term “functional dyspepsia” is
used. If the child is taking medications called “NSAIDs” also known as NSAID
medications, it may be reduce the pain. Treatments for functional
gastrointestinal disorders differ based on what symptom is affecting the
patient the most. Parenteral nutrition may be prescribed for children who have
problems with the digestive tract that make it difficult or impossible to
digest food.
