Patients with small bowel motility disorder have a wide range of clinical manifestation from asymptomatic
to severe symptoms similar to intestinal obstruction. However, between the two extremes, patients may have
dyspeptic symptoms and were diagnosed as functional GI disorders because the organic causes can not be found by endoscopic or imaging studies. Thus, a subgroup of patients with functional GI disorders may have small bowel motility disorder.
