Lucknow: The “gut feeling” is more than something that moves in the stomach. It is a signal from the gut — or the second brain — that feeds and drives the head. In addition, it dictates overall health and shapes a person’s overall quality of life.
Disorders of bowel-brain interaction, grouped as functional gastrointestinal disorders, are being deliberated in detail by gastroenterologists across the country at the annual congress of the Indian Association of Motility and Functional Diseases (IMFDA).
Inaugurated by SGPGI Director RK Professor Dhiman, the event was a platform for exchanging knowledge on the subject that has until recently been ignored. Industry estimates (ITC study) show that more than 56% of Indians have digestive health problems. Also, 22% of Indians suffer from constipation (Abbott gut survey). Professor UC Ghoshal, head of SGPGI’s gastroenterology department and president of the IMFDA, said: “Inside the walls of the digestive system are two thin layers of more than 100 million nerve cells. These cover everything. the gastrointestinal tract from the esophagus to the rectum.There is now a growing body of scientific evidence to establish that the gut is related to mood, health and even the thought pattern of the esophagus. a person”.
A look at the medical literature on gut-brain interaction and disease has numerous indigenous examples. One such SGPGI work by Moni Chaudhury, Vamika Saigal, and Professor Ghoshal noted that patients with gastroenterology in India have impaired quality of life and mental health.
