Understanding the Impact of Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders

In this presentation, Dr. Mabel Carosella, shares the results of a study, which evaluated the use of a comfort formula for infants with functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) such as colic and constipation. Dr. Carosella highlights how these conditions, affecting up to 55% of infants, can significantly impact both infant well-being and family quality of life. The study underscores the importance of accurate clinical diagnosis, parental education, and tailored nutritional guidance to alleviate symptoms and improve daily life for families.

What Healthcare Professionals Will Learn

Through this session, healthcare professionals will gain:

• Clinical insights into managing FGIDs through real-world nutritional interventions.

• Evidence of significant improvements in infant and family quality of life, as measured by validated tools (PEPSQL and IGSQ13).

• Data showing that symptom relief occurred as early as day 7, with notable reductions in crying, flatulence, stool irregularities, and fussiness by day 28.

• Understanding of how comfort formulas contribute to gut comfort, reduced GI burden, and high treatment acceptability among infants.

Dr. Carosella also emphasizes the importance of generating real-world clinical evidence to guide practice and enhance care outcomes.
