Diagnosis of poor gastrointestinal function:

Gastrointestinal dysfunction (gastrointestinal neurosis) is slow onset, and the course of disease is prolonged. The symptoms are complex and persistent or recurrent. The clinical manifestations are mainly gastrointestinal symptoms, and the patients with gastric neurosis are many.

Differential diagnosis

Differential diagnosis of gastrointestinal function:

1. Gastric neurosis:

(1) Neurological vomiting, more common in women. Patients often vomit suddenly after eating, generally no obvious nausea, vomiting is not laborious, vomiting is not much, and does not affect appetite and food intake, often eating while eating, so most of them have no obvious nutritional disorders. Neurological vomiting can be accompanied by the color of rickets, such as exaggeration, pretentiousness, susceptibility, sudden onset, and complete intermittent interval, so it is also called rickets and vomiting.

(2) Neurological hernia, the patient has repeated episodes of hernia, resulting in unconsciously swallowing a lot of air to make the symptoms more obvious, resulting in frequent suffocation, often rickets, and public seizures.

(3) Anorexia nervosa, mostly female, mainly anorexia or refusal to eat, severe cases have weight loss. Most of the patients were conscious, active and agile, and sometimes they were paradoxically interested in food, even gluttony, and then secretly vomited. Due to long-term diet, the weight loss can reach 40-60% of the original weight, which is the degree of cachexia. Patients often have neuroendocrine disorders, manifested as amenorrhea, hypotension, bradycardia, hypothermia, loss of hunger and so on.

2, intestinal neurosis:

Enteric neurosis, also known as irritable syndrome, is the most common functional disease of the gastrointestinal tract. Mainly due to intestinal symptoms, patients often have abdominal pain, bloating, bowel, diarrhea and constipation. In fact, the intestines are dysfunctional and there are no inflammatory lesions, and dysfunction is not limited to the colon.

(1) Colonic dyskinesia is more common. The patient had paroxysmal colic, mainly in the left lower abdomen. Although the onset and duration of abdominal pain were not regular, most of them occurred after breakfast and were rare when they were asleep. Abdominal pain is often aggravated by eating or cold drinks and is relieved after defecation, venting, and enema. Abdominal pain is often accompanied by abdominal distension, poor bowel movements or increased frequency of bowel movements, and the feces can be diluted.

(2) Mainly due to colonic dysfunction.

(3) Mainly due to intestinal dysfunction.
