Association of Gastrointestinal Motility Disorders, Inc. (AGMD)

The Association of Gastrointestinal Motility Disorders, Inc. (AGMD) was incorporated in 1991 and is one of the oldest nonprofit organizations in existence, with a focus on digestive motility diseases and disorders. Our international organization brings together a diverse group of individuals: patients, family members, physicians, nurses, basic science and clinical researchers, pharmaceutical and diagnostic professionals, home health care workers, dietitians, biotech industrialists, other organizations and those in the community interested in digestive motility diseases and disorders. We provide a variety of resources and programs centering on education, the dissemination of information, advocacy, outreach, research and support. AGMD serves as an integral educational resource for digestive motility diseases and disorders. It also functions as an important information clearinghouse for members of the medical, scientific and nutritional communities. In addition, AGMD provides a forum of support for patients (and their families) suffering from digestive motility diseases and disorders.
