In this episode of Bowel Sounds, hosts Drs. Peter Lu and Jennifer Lee talk to Dr. Miguel Saps about functional abdominal pain. We begin by hearing how he developed his passion for neurogastroenterology — and his impressions of Dr. Lu when he was a medical student. We then ask the expert himself how he explains the diagnosis of functional abdominal pain and what causes these common but challenging disorders. We talk about the roles of both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatment. Finally, we discuss how prevention of these disorders may change our approach in the future.
As always, the discussion, views, and recommendations in this podcast are the sole responsibility of the hosts and guests and are subject to change over time with advances in the field.
