A member asked:
What is an aperistaltic bowel? are there symptoms associated with this? what are the causes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bowel doesn't move: It means the bowel is not moving or contracting. Depending on the location of the "aperistalsis" or lack of movement you can have constipation, vomiting, abdominal pain. Most common causes are diabetes and medications (as a side effect).
