  • Describe the pathophysiology of disorders of gut-brain interaction, including the roles of visceral hypersensitivity, altered motility, and psychosocial factors.
  • Identify and differentiate the clinical presentations of disorders of gut-brain interaction, including irritable bowel syndrome, functional dyspepsia, and functional abdominal pain.
  • Discuss the differential diagnosis for chronic abdominal pain in children, including inflammatory, infections, anatomical, and DGBIs and indications for further work-up to make a final diagnosis.
