“…Gastrointestinal symptoms were assessed with the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS) [15], a validated questionnaire comprised of 15 items rating gastrointestinal symptoms using 7-point Likert scales with values ranging from 1 to 7. In addition to an overall score ranging from 15 to 105, the GSRS may be scored for five-symptom subscales (reflux, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, indigestion) [15] with recall referring to the past week.…”

Objective. Microscopic colitis (MC) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are both gastrointestinal disorders with female predominance that affect well-being. Autoantibodies against gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) have recently been detected in IBS patients.The purpose of this study was to compare gastrointestinal symptoms and well-being in MC female outpatients, with or without co-existing IBS-like symptoms, and to examine the prevalence of GnRH antibodies in these patients. Results. Altogether, 159 (66.2 %) of 240 invited patients with MC were recruited to the study. Of these, 134 (55.8 %) also accepted to provide blood samples. Patients with IBS-like symptoms (55%) experienced more symptoms and worse psychological well-being in all dimensions in GSRS and PGWB, and in all symptoms but constipation in VAS-IBS compared to patients without IBS symptoms. Only a minority of patients expressed antibodies against GnRH or GnRH-R, which did not differ between groups.Conclusions. MC patients fulfilling criteria for IBS experience more gastrointestinal symptoms and worse psychological well-being than those who do not. Autoantibodies against GnRH or GnRH-R were not observed in MC patients.

Well-Being and Gastrointestinal Symptoms among Patients Referred to Endoscopy Owing to Suspected Duodenal Ulcer

Abstract: The results of the study showed that, irrespective of endoscopic findings, patients complaining of upper gastrointestinal symptoms have a low degree of general well-being. The symptoms profiles in the different diagnostic groups vary considerably.
