Guest guest Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Afferent nerves Nerve fibers (usually sensory) that carry impulses from an organ or tissue toward the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system), or the information processing centers of the enteric nervous system, which is located within the walls of the digestive tract (brain/gi are neuro linked)this can affect siezure issues also! Brain-gut axis The continuous bi-directional flow of information and feedback that takes place between the gastrointestinal tract, and the brain and spinal cord (which together comprise the central nervous system). (pseudo's are a false blockage, I find that they greatly exsist with viral issues etc) Also seems possible that absent or damaged nerve cells in the gi cause this also! Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIP) A rare disorder of gastrointestinal motility where coordinated contractions (peristalsis) in the intestinal tract become altered and inefficient http://www.iffgd.org/site/learning-center/glossary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
