ABSTRACT:
Methods for measuring at least one mucosally released neuroendocrine gut system component in an individual and methods for diagnosing a gastrointestinal disorder in an individual based on the concentration of at least one mucosally released neuroendocrine gut system component, and/or the ratio of the concentrations of at least one mucosally released neuroendocrine gut system component and at least one mucosally released inflammatory release mediator are provided.
