Presentation
Although many children with aerophagia present with upper gastrointestinal symptoms, the disorder appears to be distinct from functional dyspepsia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Fatigue
Typical symptoms include but are not limited to fatigue, headache, bloating, and irritability. This is temporary and will resolve. [nbwellness.com]
However, some people may have troublesome symptoms, especially abdominal cramps, bloating, heartburn, and diarrhea combined with other problems accompanied by companion symptoms, including, migraine, chronic fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia 3. [cellsciencesystems.com]
In fact, unexplained physical complaints, as a whole,—fatigue, headache, stomach upset, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, dizziness, musculoskeletal pains—were more commonly reported in individuals with an anxiety disorder and/or depression. [verywell.com]
[…] symptoms include: A change in normal bowel habits Blood on or in the stool that is either bright or dark Unusual abdominal or gas pains Very narrow stool A feeling that the bowel has not emptied completely after passing stool Unexplained weight loss Fatigue [my.clevelandclinic.org]

Diarrhea
Viruses are a common cause of diarrhea, particularly noroviruses which are a common cause of diarrhea and vomiting outbreaks on cruise ships. [drugs.com]
Gastrointestinal (GI) disturbances commonly include symptoms of stomach pain, heartburn, diarrhea, constipation, nausea, and vomiting. When no medical cause for GI disturbances is found, they are often termed “functional GI symptoms.” [verywell.com]
FUNCTIONAL DIARRHEA Functional diarrhea (commonly also known as toddlers’ diarrhea or chronic nonspecific diarrhea) is defined by the daily painless passage of 3 large, unformed stools for 4 weeks with onset between 6 and 36 months of age (1). [journals.lww.com]
For instance, irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease are chronic disorders that results in abdominal pain, cramps, diarrhea and possibly constipation. [study.com]

Abdominal Pain
The most common gastrointestinal symptoms were abdominal pain, distention and frequent belching. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pain-Related Functional GI Disorders: functional dyspepsia, IBS, abdominal migraine, childhood functional abdominal pain, and childhood functional abdominal pain syndrome Constipation and Incontinence: functional constipation and nonretentive fecal incontinence [verywellhealth.com]

Nausea
Children with functional dyspepsia had a higher prevalence of nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and unintentional weight loss compared to children with aerophagia (all P 0.05). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The device generates mild electrical pulses to a portion of the stomach muscle wall to help move food through the stomach and alleviate nausea and vomiting. AMITA Health offers this procedure at select locations. [amitahealth.org]
Symptoms can include abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, severe vomiting, difficulty swallowing, and, at times, obstruction. [elecare.com]
Many researchers have concluded that Cannabis Medicine can modulate the endogenous cannabinoid system - to provides new treatment options for nausea, vomiting, ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn’s, diarrhea, and heartburn. [420evaluationsonline.com]

Indeed, conditions that would readily be accepted as benign in older children, such as constipation or regurgitation, often prompt extensive workup by concerned physicians and anxious parents. [journals.lww.com]
Otherwise the patient may resist the referral because of perceived stigma or a rejection (“the workup is negative, it must be nerves”) by the gastroenterologist. Continued care by the gastroenterologist may also be necessary. [gut.bmj.com]
Treatment
If confirmed in future studies, the findings point towards a more differential psychopharmacologic treatment of FGD. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Despite their favorable prognosis, such disorders often are extensively investigated and treated with multiple dietary changes and use of medications of uncertain benefit. [journals.lww.com]
The long-term prognosis is unclear and there is much work required to find a cure, including plenty of research. [badgut.org]
An increase in diagnosis of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency could improve the management and prognosis of these patients. [tri.edu.au]

The journal welcomes submissions on the physiology, pathophysiology, etiology, diagnosis, and therapy of gastrointestinal diseases. [ommegaonline.org]
The reason being that these conditions often have a multifactorial etiology, making it difficult to pin point a single, exact cause. However, upon delving a bit deeper than surface symptoms we can gather more information on what might be going on. [richmondnaturalmed.com]
Recently, research has shifted from etiology—that is, a unidirectional relationship between psychosocial events (e.g., “stress”) and gastrointestinal function, to the reciprocal interaction of physiologic and psychosocial processes in these conditions [gut.bmj.com]

Pathophysiology
In recent years, however, new observations and studies of the afferent nervous system have extended our concepts of both IBS and dyspepsia and suggest that these conditions may have common triggers and expression from similar pathophysiological processes [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Kristin Verbeke TARGID aims to provide insight in physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms in order to identify new targets ultimately leading to better therapies for gastrointestinal disorders such as functional and inflammatory bowel diseases [gbiomed.kuleuven.be]

Can gastrointestinal disease be prevented? Many diseases of the colon and rectum can be prevented or minimized by maintaining a healthy lifestyle, practicing good bowel habits, and submitting to cancer screening. [my.clevelandclinic.org]
