Gut motility
TopicHeard in 1 episode across 1 show since Jul 2026
Gut motility, or gastrointestinal motility, refers to the stretching and contraction of the muscles in the gastrointestinal tract that enables food to move through the digestive system. This complex process is regulated by the nervous system, hormones, and the enteric nervous system to facilitate digestion, nutrient absorption, and waste excretion. Disruption in this coordinated movement can lead to various gastrointestinal motility disorders, such as constipation, diarrhea, or gastroparesis.

Abnormally fast intestinal motility causes diarrhea, while sluggish motility causes constipation.
“if the intestines move too fast and out of rhythm, you get diarrhea. If the intestines slow down too much sluggish, you get constipation.”
