Title: Parental reassurance and nutritional advice help to optimise the management of functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) in infants: key take-outs from the recommendations
| Published: | 2018 |
Regurgitation, infantile colic and functional constipation are common functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) during infancy, cause frequent parental concerns and heavy personal and economic costs for families and public healthcare systems.
A literature review was carried out to evaluate the impact of these common FGIDs on infants and their families, and provide an overview of national and international guidelines and peer-reviewed expert recommendations on their management.
The guidelines emphasise that the first-line management of these common FGIDs should be parental education, reassurance and nutritional advice, including continued breastfeeding.
This infographic is based on the review paper, summarising the key take-outs from the national and international guidelines and peer-reviewed expert recommendations on the management of regurgitation, infantile colic and functional constipation.
