Body Surface Gastric Mapping in Patients with GI Symptoms
The purpose of this study is to learn more about a new device that measures stomach and bowel myoelectric (electricity produced by muscles) activity in children and young adults using body surface gastric mapping (BSGM). The BSGM device is FDA approved in adults but not children under 18. 
We are looking to partner with patients who have a confirmed diagnosis of a Motility Disorder and/or Functional Gastrointestinal Disorder (FGID) or patients who are having motility tests/procedures performed for clinical care. We are also looking for healthy controls without any history of inflammatory disease or pyloric disorders. All study participants must be 8 - 25 years of age and have a body mass index (BMI) of less than 35. 
Participation is completely voluntary, and subjects may withdraw at any time without affecting their care. Participants may receive compensation for their time.

Gastrointestinal Motility Biorepository
Gastrointestinal motility disorders (GMD) and disorders of gut brain interactions (DGBI) include a wide spectrum of disease conditions, and it's relatively common in the general population. GMDs and DGBIs may be caused by impaired movement of muscles in the digestive system, impaired or oversensitive nerve signaling between the gut and brain, bacterial overgrowth, intolerance to certain foods, altered anatomy, or more.The purpose of this study is to collect and store data and samples, such as blood and saliva, for future research about GMD and DGBI. The study plans to enroll up to 5,000 participants, including patients with or without GMD and DGBI.
