Gastrointestinal Motility Disorders

These disorders can cause uncomfortable and dangerous symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea and constipation. When these symptoms occur, it is important to seek medical attention to determine the cause and any necessary treatments. Treatment may consist of medication to reduce symptoms, or in more serious cases, surgery to remove part of the digestive tract.
