    Psychic recall of past colon issues can worsen current symptoms by increasing colon activity. This highlights the mind-body connection in functional gastrointestinal disorders.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Psychosomatic Medicine

    Context:

    • Psychic reevocation of past disturbances, even if unfelt, can significantly impact colon function.
    • Patients with psychosomatic orientations readily translate psychological stress into physiological responses.

    Purpose:

    • To explore the link between psychic recall, colon motility, and psychosomatic pathology.
    • To describe how psychological distress manifests as physical symptoms in the colon.

    Summary:

    • Recalling past colon disturbances accentuates colon motility and tone, exacerbating existing conditions.
    • Colonmetrographic findings illustrate these functional disturbances.
    • Psychosomatic patients exhibit a tendency to convert ideas into diffuse, often physiological, somatic changes.
