How Gut Motility Affects Your Health | Dr. Meer Akbar Ali on Hope for GI Patients

Dr. Meer Akbar Ali, a neuro-gastroenterologist at UAMS Health, explains the critical role of gut motility—how the digestive system moves food through the body—and what happens when that movement is disrupted. Known as dysmotility, these disorders affect up to 50% of patients in GI clinics and are often linked to nerve, muscle, hormonal, or microbiota imbalances. From diabetes to medication side effects, many factors can impair gut function. Dr. Ali emphasizes a holistic approach that includes advanced diagnostics, tailored diets from registered dietitians, and integrated mental health support. For patients struggling with motility issues, there is real hope and a growing number of effective treatments available.
