International Foundation for Gastrointestinal Disorders

About:

The International Foundation for Gastrointestinal Disorders (IFFGD) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) education and research organization founded in 1991.

Our mission is to inform, assist, and support people affected by gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. We raise awareness about the serious impact these disorders can have on the lives of patients as well as provide information about treatment and management approaches. Our efforts to educate the public, clinicians, investigators, and regulators are aimed ultimately to improve outcomes for patients affected by functional GI disorders (FGIDs).

We provide evidence-based educational material useful in helping guide patients and families. Working with multiple stakeholders, this entails persistent efforts to raise public and professional awareness, report scientific advances, and provide useful resources.

Over the past 30 years, IFFGD has represented patients at advocacy events, created and hosted patient education initiatives, and funded over $640,000 in GI research.
