In these patients, symptoms seem to be caused by abnormal contractions of the circular colonic muscles, which are reduced by GLP-1.79 Indeed, a placebo-controlled trial showed that the GLP-1RA ROSE-010 improved scintigraphically measured colonic transit time in patients with c-IBS.80 Furthermore, high-dose GLP-1 infusion reduced migratory motor complexes and intestinal motility in patients with IBS.77 Data from animal studies suggests that GLP-1RAs also decreases visceral sensitivity.90 In a double-blind randomised prospective trial in humans, pain relief, assessed with a visual analogue score, was higher with ROSE-010, as compared with placebo.91 Since T2DM and IBS frequently coincide, GLP-1RAs might be of double benefit to these patients.92 Short bowel syndrome Malabsorption is a frequent problem in short bowel syndrome, obviously caused by the reduced intestinal absorbent surface
