Abstract
This review provides an analysis of a possible relationship between functional diseases of the gastrointestinal tract in children and adults. Some functional disorders previously identified only in the childrens age group, such as abdominal migraine, were increasingly recorded in the adult population. As a rule, the diagnosis of functional gastrointestinal diseases is based primarily on clinical symptoms. However, researchers increasingly note that for some pathologies in children, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease, the main symptoms of reflux, such as heartburn and belching, are not absolutely dominant. All this makes it possible to express an opinion on the formation of a universal functional pathology of the digestive tract with the dominance at certain stages of the pathological process of one or another symptomatology that affects the central nervous system.
