Has anyone been diagnosed with or heard of, visceral hypersensitivity? It's a condition where the nerves are close to the surface of an organ, esophagus, etc. It can cause pain and discomfort. It seems to be a diagnosis of exclusion.

@dawnsdc, I read through the discussion you recently posted and see you are working through quite a bit. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/chronic-discomfort/

Here is an article about managing chronic abdominal bloating and distention that includes visceral hypersensitivity as a functional cause. “ Gut-brain interaction disorders associated with bloating and distention include IBS, chronic idiopathic constipation, pelvic floor dysfunction, functional dyspepsia and functional bloating…some diagnoses have a visceral sensory disorder that causes them to perceive that their bodies are producing an excessive amount of gas.‘

I also searched from the Connect home page and found 4 related discussions that may be worth checking out if you have not done so already:

What is your experience with visceral hypersensitivity?
