International Foundation for Gastrointestinal Disorders

International Foundation for Gastrointestinal Disorders, IFFGD, is a Public Charity designated under the U.S. IRS code 501(c)(3). We are a registered nonprofit education and research organization. 

IFFGD was founded in 1991 by one person struggling with the challenges imposed by a chronic GI disorder. In the last 30 years, many others, from all walks of life, have joined with us.  

Our mission is to inform, assist, and support people affected by gastrointestinal disorders.  We work with patients, families, healthcare providers, investigators, regulators, employers, and others to broaden understanding about GI disorders, support or encourage research, and improve digestive health in adults and children.
