Relationship Between Colonic Transit Response to Eating With Self-reported Constipation Severity in Constipated Patients According to the Phenotype.

ABSTRACT:

Background/aims

Eating is the major synchronizer of gastrointestinal motility and secretions. The present study aims to evaluate the interplay between self-perceived constipation severity (CS) and colonic response to eating in constipated patients according to the phenotype.

Methods

We included 387 consecutive outpatients complaining of Rome IV chronic idiopathic constipation. Likert scales for CS, abdominal pain severity, bloating severity, depression and anxiety assessment, total and segmental colonic transit time (CTT), and colonic transit response to eating (CTRE) were performed in all patients.

Results

Of the 387 patients included (49.7 ± 16.4 years), 320 (83%) were female, 203 had irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C), 184 as functional constipation
