FUNCTIONAL BOWEL DISEASE Intestinal gas distribution determines abdominal symptoms
Background: Patients with functional gut disorders manifest poor tolerance to intestinal gas loads but the mechanism of this dysfunction is unknown. Aim: Our aims were firstly, to explore the relative importance of the amount of intestinal gas versus its distribution on symptom production, and secondly, to correlate gut motility and perception of gas loads. Subjects: Fourteen healthy subjects w...
متن کاملIntestinal gas content and distribution in health and in patients with functional gut symptoms.
BACKGROUND The precise relation of intestinal gas to symptoms, particularly abdominal bloating and distension remains incompletely elucidated. Our aim was to define the normal values of intestinal gas volume and distribution and to identify abnormalities in relation to functional-type symptoms. METHODS Abdominal computed tomography scans were evaluated in healthy subjects (n = 37) and in pati...

Background: Patients with abdominal bloating and distension exhibit impaired transit of intestinal gas which may lead to excessive gas retention and symptoms. Furthermore, we have previously shown that intestinal gas transit is normally accelerated by rectal distension. We hypothesise that in patients with functional bloating this modulatory mechanism fails and impairs gas transit. Methods: In ...
