Due to the amount of fecal masses turns out to be insufficient to ensure appropriate for the act of defecation force irritation of the large intestine. Constipation is often observed when bathygastry. When this omission and hypotension stomach and duodenal ulcers lead to engage splenic angle of transverse colon and contribute to the delay in her intestinal contents.

The most often constipation still occur in patients with peptic ulcer and gastroduodenitis with high secretory function of the stomach. One of the reasons of their occurrence in these cases are strict diets, rich mainly easily digestible food with low content of fiber. Such constipation is called alimentary. Low motor activity of the large intestine is exacerbated by the long stay of patients with acute exacerbation of ulcer on bed rest. In addition, constipation at stomach ulcer may be due to reflex the impacts of the large intestine (according to the type of viscero-visceral reflexes) from the side of the stomach and duodenum, as well as increased tone wandering nerve (neurogenic constipation.) Finally, to the development and aggravation of constipation can lead constitutional weakness of the muscles of the anterior wall of the abdomen, taking certain anti-ulcer drugs (calcium carbonate, almagel, etc.) During exacerbation of ulcer disease constipation can sometimes be transported sick worse than the pain, and to be on the forefront in the clinical picture of the disease.

Diarrhea (sometimes profuse) are found in postgastrectomy disorders (dumping syndrome), as well as after surgery vagotomy.

The combination of diarrhea with sharply increased production of hydrochloric acid and ulcers (often multiple) of the stomach and duodenum (sometimes and jejunum) may indicate the presence of the syndrome Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Diarrhea such patients are explained by inflammation of the small intestine (due to the significant reduction of the pH in the lumen jejunum), violation of the absorption of water and electrolytes in the small intestine as a result of hyperproduction g, inactivation of pancreatic enzymes. In some patients with the syndrome Zollinger-Ellison syndrome diarrhea are the only symptom of the disease.

Severe diarrhea with the advent of the Calais undigested food already after 30 min-1 h after eating testifies about the presence of fistula between the stomach and the transverse colon rectum.
