This neurological problem can also result in reduced sensation of rectal filling and weakness of the anal sphincter because of weak muscular contraction so can cause stool leakage. [12] In patients with multiple sclerosis, constipation and fecal incontinence often coexist, and they can be acute, chronic or intermittent due to the fluctuating ...
After surgery involving the stomach and duodenum (most commonly with Billroth II antrectomy), a blind loop may be formed, leading to stasis of flow of intestinal contents. This can cause overgrowth, and is termed blind loop syndrome. [23] Systemic or metabolic disorders may lead to conditions allowing bacterial overgrowth as well.
SIBO causes abdominal discomfort and symptoms like excess gas, bloating, and constipation. Treatments can help with symptom management and should be tailored to the individual.
Dysbiosis may contribute to the cause or development of neurological conditions, including autism, pain, depression, anxiety, and stroke. [36] Dysbiosis contributing to neurological conditions is due to interactions with the gut-brain axis allowing the gut microbiome to influence neural development, cognition, and behavior. [34]
A chronic gut infection caused by a common virus may be linked to the progression of Alzheimer’s disease, a new study has found.. Cytomegalovirus, or HCMV, is one of nine herpes viruses that ...
Intestinal neuronal dysplasia (IND) is an inherited disease of the intestine that affects one in 3000 children and adults. The intestine uses peristalsis to push its contents toward the anus ; people with IND have a problem with the motor neurons that lead to the intestine, inhibiting this process and thus preventing digestion.
Treatment targets nutritional support, improving intestinal motility, and minimizing surgical intervention. [4] Bacterial overgrowth of the small intestine can occur in chronic cases – presenting as malabsorption, diarrhea, and nutrient deficiencies [12] – which may require the use of antibiotics.
Disorders such as anxiety, major depression, and myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) are common among people with IBS. [1] [14] [note 1] [15] The cause of IBS is not known but multiple factors have been proposed to lead to the condition. [2]
