Struggling with functional abdominal pain? You’re not alone. Functional abdominal pain is common and can be challenging because tests often show no structural cause. Practical steps you can start today include regular meals, staying hydrated, gentle movement, stress-reduction techniques, and keeping a simple symptom diary to spot patterns. If you notice red flags such as weight loss, fever, vomiting, persistent severe pain, blood in stools, or pain that wakes you at night, seek medical care promptly. For many, relief comes from a steady routine and targeted gut health strategies that calm the gut-brain connection. Beyond quick relief, understanding functional abdominal pain involves listening to your body and supporting your gut microbiome. A healthier gut can influence pain perception, digestion, and comfort. Small, sustainable changes—like gradually increasing fiber, staying hydrated, and reducing irritants—often help, along with breathing and mind-body techniques. When you approach functional abdominal pain from a gut health perspective, you’re addressing the systems that influence how you feel day to day. InnerBuddies offers a white-label Gut Health Operating System designed to empower companies to bring gut health testing and insights to consumers. It includes a Gut Microbiome Health Index, a score from 0 to 100 that reflects overall gut health based on data from an exclusive collaboration with EAFIT University in Colombia. It also shows you how your bacteria abundances compare against a healthy cohort for a set of top 40 bacteria, and how various bacterial functions align with positive or negative outcomes. The platform provides Target Group analysis to explore functional pathways relevant to specific groups—Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, Skin & Hair Health, and more. Coupled with personalized nutrition advice derived from 3-day food diaries and stool data, you can get recommendations tailored to your unique gut microbiome. Personal probiotic and prebiotic guidance is also part of the mix. For consumers, InnerBuddies delivers gut test solutions directly, giving you access to these insights without a middleman.
