Unspecified Functional Bowel Disorder

Unspecified Functional Bowel Disorder (UFBD) refers to gastrointestinal symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits, where no specific disease can be identified. It's classified within Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders, which means the digestive system is functioning abnormally, but there are no structural or biochemical issues detected through tests. People with UFBD often experience discomfort and distress, but the exact cause is unclear, possibly involving factors like stress, diet, and gut sensitivity. Treatment typically focuses on managing symptoms and improving quality of life through dietary changes, stress management, and sometimes medication.
