Our Mission

IFFGD is a registered nonprofit education and research organization. Our mission is to inform, assist and support people affected by gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. 

Founded in 1991 by Nancy Norton and William Norton, IFFGD has been working with patients (both adults and children), families, physicians, practitioners, investigators, employers, regulators, and others to broaden understanding about gastrointestinal disorders and support or encourage research.
