Abstract

This review article will address the frequently encountered functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) occurring in infancy. The clinical features and management of infant regurgitation, infant colic, infant dyschezia, and functional constipation are discussed with reference to the most recent literature and evidence. Management should be focused on ruling out organic causes with careful history and examination, and then reassurance for the caregiver in this often very stressful period of parenting. There is often no or minimal pharmacological treatment necessary for FGIDs and treatment should be individualised for each patient and family.
