There exist a group of patients with functional bowel disease whose abdominal pain and other clinical features are likely to occur as a consequence of disordered motility and visceral sensation that predominantly affects the small intestine or midgut.
The symptom-based diagnostic criteria are abdominal pain, often exacerbated by eating and not relieved by opening the bowels and not associated with the passage of more frequent or looser stools than normal and not associated with constipation.
Other symptoms include abdominal distension (bloating), postprandial fullness, nausea and, on occasions, anorexia and weight loss.
