What is enhanced visceral nociception in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)?

Research has conclusively shown that patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) have enhanced sensation and perception of what is happening in their digestive tract. They can feel things in their throat, chest, abdomen and rectum that other people cannot feel. What they feel can be uncomfortable and even painful.

Doctors call this enhanced visceral nociception. Another way of looking at this is that the internal pain threshold for patients with IBS and other functional gastrointestinal disorders is reduced. Even the sensation of normal peristaltic activity, movement and distention of the gut by food and gas may be experienced as uncomfortable.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
