Diagnosis of disrupted GI motility due to toxins involves a comprehensive approach, including:
Patient history to identify potential sources of toxic exposure Physical examination to assess abdominal tenderness and bowel sounds Laboratory tests to detect the presence of toxins in blood, urine, or stool samples Imaging studies, such as X-rays or CT scans, to visualize the GI tract Motility tests, such as manometry or scintigraphy, to measure the functional status of the GI tract
