What are motility abnormalities?
Motility abnormalities refer to issues with the movement of food through the digestive tract. This can manifest as either decreased (hypomotility) or increased (hypermotility) movement, leading to symptoms like constipation or diarrhea. Conditions like gastroparesis and irritable bowel syndrome can cause motility abnormalities.
What causes bilious gastric fluid in the stomach?
Bilious fluid, or bile, in the stomach can come from several different causes. Bile is produced in the liver and stored in the gallbladder which releases it into the upper portion of the small intestine, called the duodenum, after eating. Bile in the stomach can be the result of an empty stomach, such as after a bout with vomiting, or can come from an overactive gallbladder. It can also indicate a weakened valve between the stomach and small intestine, which allows the bile to enter the stomach.
Why the symptoms of hyperthyroidism may be confused with a disorder of the autonomic nervous system?
Symptoms of hyperthyroidism such as increased heart rate, tremors, and sweating can be similar to symptoms of autonomic nervous system disorders like anxiety, panic attacks, or dysautonomia. These similarities can lead to confusion in diagnosis, as both conditions can affect the body's overall function and may present with overlapping symptoms related to the nervous system.
What causes your stomach to growl after you eat?
