A member asked:
Is there such a thing as a nerve issue causing gi issues?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The gut's innervation is important for motility (digestion) and pain sensation. Congenital nerve conditions affecting the gut include Hirschsprung's disease. In adults, vagal neuropathy can lead to gastroparesis. See your primary care physician if you're concerned. Here's a good review article on the subject: http://jnnp.bmj.com/content/65/3/291.full
