Restroom Access Card: We understand the difficulties of needing to use a restroom urgently, especially for patients with gastrointestinal conditions. This can be a problem
Each month, IFFGD creates a Digestive Health Monthly (DHM) enewsletter to keep you updated on issues that matter. This newsletter contains the latest news about treatments, research breakthroughs, and the activities of those taking steps to raise awareness.
The information is reliable and understandable by lay readers, while being authoritative for medical professionals. Distribution has been to members, physicians, regulators, investigators, and the general public in countries throughout the world.
We maintain a unique library of our own publications and fact sheets that contains over two hundred articles with information on a range of topics available to help individuals or the families of those affected by GI disorders.
Until 2016, IFFGD published a magazine, Digestive Health Matters, that covered different areas of gastrointestinal health in adults and children with up-to-date information on recognizing, diagnosing, treating, and living with the disorders.
We have been active in Washington, DC making the needs of all those affected by functional GI and motility disorders known to members of congress and to funders an regulators at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Learn about those activities, and how you can participate here.
IFFGD web sites provide reliable health information and general guidance.
