Monograph discusses etiopathology of hypertensive colonic syndrome in dysfunctional individuals, indicating lifestyle abuse as a core issue.
For past over half a century, medical faculty have been viciously grilling herself on pathophysiological phenotype of ‘Functional Gastro-Intestinal Disorders (FGIDs). In this monograph, etiophysiopathology of hypertensive colonic syndrome (HCS), anatomical aspects of large intestine, alongwith irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and diverticular disease (DD), gut dysmotility causing HCS shall be addressed. Modern Western lifestyle issues are correlated to etiopathology of FGIDs. ‘Functional fault’ lies in lifestyle abuse instead of GIT. GERD and IBS symptoms frequently overlap; signifying that entire gut from stomodeum to proctodeum acts in unison as one unit though medical faculty has not appreciated its phenotype essence. Truely there are no FGIDs but only Dysfunctional Human Beings (DHBs) contracting FGIDs. “They condemn what they do not understand (Damnant quod non intellegunt)”
