Patients may scuffle for many years before a precise diagnosis is made. Rapid gastric emptying (dumping syndrome) and Functional dyspepsia are some of the other stomach disorder.

Bowel obstruction occurs when the normal flow of intraluminal contents is interrupted. Obstruction can be functional (due to abnormal intestinal physiology) or due to a mechanical obstruction, which can be acute or chronic .
