Gastrointestinal Dysmotility
Gastrointestinal dysmotility refers to abnormal movement or function of the digestive tract. It is characterized by impaired or disordered movement of the muscles in the stomach, intestines, or esophagus, leading to various symptoms and complications.
Autoimmune Gastrointestinal Dysmotility (AGID)
Autoimmune gastrointestinal dysmotility, also known as AGID, is a specific type of gastrointestinal dysmotility that is caused by an autoimmune response. In this condition, the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks and damages the nerves or muscles responsible for regulating the movement of the digestive tract.
