Awareness leads to interest - and interest leads to understanding.
As the magnitude of problems caused by functional GI disorder symptoms is better understood, attention to finding better treatment will increase. If you would like to help us increase awareness about the issues faced by those with functional GI disorders, please complete the optional questions on our guestbook page. We have asked the National Institutes of Health to fund functional GI disorders research at a level of ten million dollars annually. They are still a long way from that level of support. Our first goal is to raise one million dollars to fund more research to help ourselves.
