Mental problems as a result of digestive problems

[Meggs]

Hi,

I'm not a regular user of this forum (I'm a dentist), but I need your help.

I need to find info (preferably online) on mental problems as a result of digestive problems. I've been searching using google, but so far no luck. Can some of you point out some website for me to read?

Thanks, ahead,

Meggs

Try searching for "Irritable Bowel Syndrome"

I believe, "digestive problems as a result of mental problems" would be more productive. You may also want to investigate literature or articles on psychosomatic problems related to the gastrointestinal system.

GI complaints are supposed to be common with somatization, but some report that elderly suffer dementia with chronic constipation. I'm not sure if the mechanism of action is known.

Thanks to you all!
