It is a group of disorders classified by GI symptoms related to any combination of the following: motility disturbance, visceral hypersensitivity,altered mucosal and immune function, altered gut microbiota, and altered central nervous system (CNS) processing.

In addition, FGIDs in infancy are linked with detrimental repercussions such as maternal depression, poor infant and mother bonding,and poor physical growth .
