Chronicfunctionalabdominalpain CFAP is the ongoing presence of abdominalpain for which there is no known medical explanation. It is quite similar to, but less common than, irritable bowel syndrome IBS , and many of the same treatments for IBS can also be of benefit to those with CFAP. The fundamental difference between IBS and CFAP is that in CFAP, unlike in IBS, there is no change in bowel habits such as constipation or diarrhea . Bowel dysfunction is a necessary diagnostic criterion of IBS. CFAP is characterized by chronicpain , with no physical explanation or findings no structural, infectious, or mechanical causes can be found . It is theorized that CFAP is a disorder of the nervous system where normal nociception nociceptive nerve impulses are amplified like a stereo system turned up too loud resulting in pain . Alternately it is hypothesized that there exists in the intestine a protozoan namely blastocystis which is interacting with the sympathetic nervous system and causing the pain. Newer semi synthetic antibiotics such as rifaximin have been used in treatment. This visceral hypersensitivity may be a stand alone cause of CFAP, or CFAP may result from the same type of brain gut nervous system disorder that underlies IBS. As with IBS, low doses of antidepressants have been found useful in controlling the pain of CFAP Citation needed date March 2008 .
