Criteria for diagnosis of<unk>  includes frequent periodic<unk>  symptoms, an abnormal electroencephalogram (EEG) and significant improvement of gastrointestinal symptoms after taking anti-seizure medication. Medical testing for diagnosis can be completed using MRI scans of the brain, CT scans and ultrasounds of the abdomen, endoscopy of the gastrointestinal tract, and blood tests. Usually, the procedure for its diagnose starts by extracting information about the presence of typical symptoms (such as paroxysmal,<unk>  pain, and other GI symptoms). Symptoms that are persistent throughout or persist for hours are less probable to be indications of<unk> . Convulsions, impairment in consciousness and other neurological symptoms are ought to be considered along with the gastrointestinal symptoms when diagnosing<unk> . Though every episode of it may not be accompanied by a neurological symptom. This often makes these neurological symptoms unnoticeable for the patient. This is followed by the necessary evaluation that comprises neurological and physical examination, laboratory test,<unk>  imaging using CT and ultrasound, endoscopy. Next if the above are normal but the history still suggests for this syndrome an EEG must be performed. EEG findings alone too cannot distinguish between the kinds of<unk> . Moreover often an EEG report could be normal if an event is not accompanied by neurological symptoms. If it is doubtable a neurologist should be consulted.
