Functional Nausea and Vomiting Disorders

Functional Nausea and Vomiting Disorders are conditions where individuals experience persistent nausea and occasional vomiting without any underlying medical cause, such as an infection or blockage. These disorders fall under the category of Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders, meaning that while symptoms are real and distressing, they do not stem from identifiable physical ailments. Instead, they may be influenced by factors like stress, diet, or gut-brain interactions. Treatment often focuses on managing symptoms and improving quality of life through dietary changes, therapy, and sometimes medication.
