Abstract

Functional gastrointestinal complaints are very common in daily clinic practice. Functional gastrointestinal disorders are characterized in disturbances of motility patterns and/or of visceral hypersensitivity. The main functional gastrointestinal disorders are functional dyspepsia and irritable bowel syndrome. There is no causative therapy, but we have many medication and also non-medication therapeutic options which all can be tried on an indivual basis.
