What Causes Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders?
The exact etiology of FGIDs is not fully understood, but it is believed to be multifactorial. Potential contributing factors include gastrointestinal motility abnormalities, visceral hypersensitivity, altered gut microbiota, genetic predisposition, and psychosocial factors such as stress and anxiety. The interaction between these factors can lead to the development and exacerbation of symptoms.
