	ACS :: How Are Gastrointestinal Carcinoid Tumors Diagnosed?
		Gastrointestinal (GI) neuroendocrine tumors (carcinoids) and neuroendocrine cancers often do not cause any symptoms and may be found when looking for causes of other problems.
		The symptoms a person develops from a GI neuroendocrine tumor and neuroendocrine cancer often depend on where it is located.
		The doctor will likely ask about symptoms of the carcinoid syndrome, as well as symptoms that might be caused by a mass in the stomach, intestines, or rectum.

		After vomiting ends, the duration of symptoms is shortened by tetracycline 500 mg po qid for 3 days or furazolidone 400 mg daily for 3 days or a single dose of 300 mg doxycycline.

		Functional upper gastrointestinal complaints: Symptoms referred to the upper GI system in which a pathologic condition is not present, is poorly established, or, if present, does not entirely explain the clinical state.
		Functional or nonspecific symptoms may also occur along with medical disease (eg, peptic ulcer, esophagitis), but psychologic or cultural factors may more strongly contribute to the symptom presentation, making diagnosis difficult and medical treatment alone insufficient.
		Symptoms of nausea and vomiting may be minimized or reported indirectly or even bizarrely by a severely depressed patient but presented with dramatic urgency by a histrionic patient.

	Gastrointestinal abnormalities in children with autistic disorder
		Although gastrointestinal symptoms frequently accompany the manifestations of autism, little attention has been paid to this aspect of this developmental behavioral disorder, and a gastrointestinal workup has not been part of the regular medical evaluations.
		A plausible reason for the paucity of gastrointestinal evaluation of these children may be their inability to verbalize and describe their abdominal pain or discomfort and a lack of cooperation in non-invasive studies, such as breath tests.
		The upper gastrointestinal evaluations of children with autistic disorder support the presence of a chronic inflammatory process in the gut, as reported by Wakefield et al.[3] They performedcolonoscopy with histologic examinations in 12 children and reported that all had intestinal abnormalities, ranging from lymphoid nodular hyperplasia to aphthoid ulceration.

	Gastrointestinal Manifestations of HIV
		Gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary disorders are among the most frequent complaints in patients with HIV disease.
		Gastrointestinal bleeding in a patient with HIV infection should be evaluated with the same approach used in assessing a non-HIV-infected patient.
		Because hepatic involvement occurs in the setting of disseminated disease, systemic symptoms dominate the clinical picture,(163) although a prominent elevation of serum alkaline phosphatase is common.(164) Treatment with multiple antibiotics generally produces an initial response; however, because of the advanced immunosuppression in these patients, the long-term outcome remains poor.
