PARAMO HERNANDEZ, David B. Bloating and abdominal distention: Just gas?: A look in the direction of physiology. Rev Col Gastroenterol [online]. 2011, vol.26, n.4, pp.269-275. ISSN 0120-9957.
Many patients with functional digestive disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) complain of bloating, abdominal distention and similar symptoms. Until recently these symptoms have been poorly understood, however new research allows us to clarify some aspects of their pathophysiology. This review discusses some aspects of these symptoms which are related to intestinal gas and its transit, visceral hypersensitivity, viscerosomatic response and to the intestinal microbiota
Palabras clave : Distention; bloating; irritable bowel syndrome (IBS); pathophysiology.
