Clinical features There are recurrent episodes of nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfo and distension, often worse after food. Alternating constipation and diarrhoea occur and weight loss results from malabsorption (due to bacterial overgrowth) and fear of eating. There may also be symptoms of dysmotility affecting other pas of the gastrointestinal tract, such as dysphagia, and features of bladder dysfunction in primary cases.
