Abstract in brief

The text discusses the link between gastrointestinal (GI) disorders like gastroparesis, functional dyspepsia, and cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) with migraine, highlighting a connection called the gut-brain interaction and noting that these GI conditions often occur alongside migraines.
Despite limited research, existing studies suggest a physiological relationship, with GI symptoms sometimes appearing outside migraine attacks, which could impact how migraines are treated, especially considering how medications are administered.
The review emphasizes that understanding the gut-brain link could provide insights into shared causes for migraines and GI disorders, and it calls for more research to explore how these conditions influence each other and treatment approaches.]

@MomPedBlog Functional GI problems & migraines are quite probably linked! ... sad to say, though, in my experience a lot of patients *are* actually told that their migraines are all anxiety. https://t.co/ONd1PZ6180
