Connective tissue disorders and the gut
Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are common in both inflammatory and non-inflammatory connective tissue disorders and can involve any part of the GI tract from mouth to anus. Dysphagia, gastro-oesophageal reflux, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and changes in bowel habit are common symptoms and usually arise from GI dysmotility and altered visceral sensitivity. In scleroderma, sensorimotor dysfunction is pronounced and can result in complications such as Barrett's oesophagus, gastroparesis, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, malabsorption and malnutrition, with an associated reduction in survival.

Evaluation of functional gastrointestinal disorders in children aged 4-10 years with autism spectrum disorder
CONCLUSION: In this study, the most common FGIDs in the ASD group were abdominal migraine, functional constipation, and non-retentive fecal incontinence. The finding that most children with ASD who had fecal incontinence did not show stool retention implicated social, psychological, and behavioral factors as the causes of incontinence. Raising awareness of healthcare professionals about the frequency of FGIDs in children with ASD will improve many areas in the daily lives of these children.PMID:38523379 | DOI:10.24953/turkjped.2023.558 (Source: The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics)
