Adult patients with a digestive motility disease or disorder are faced with many physical and emotional challenges. Symptoms of the illness can vary in intensity and be unpredictable in nature and the impact of not being able to eat and needing to be near a bathroom can have a profound effect on the patient's life.

Many adult patients do not look ill and are therefore not believed that they are in fact suffering from a motility disease. As a result of the symptoms and the social impact, the patient may feel isolated and very much alone.

There are many other problems and concerns that the adult patient must deal with on a daily basis. Such problems may include, pain, lack of energy and fatigue, finding a physician and adequate treatment, finances and employment, relationships, self-image, and a sense of purpose to name a few.

AGMD was started by an adult patient and, therefore, understands many of the physical and emotional concerns and struggles that they may endure. AGMD is also aware that there are many important considerations which are unique to each gender. As a result, we provide pertinent educational materials and special resources that address the needs of the female and male patient.
