The following video is an example of intestinal peristalsis, the rthymic contraction and relaxation of the intestinal muscles to propel digested food through the intestinal tract. This process starts after food product is swallowed into the esophagus. It continues once the food is emptied through the pyloric valve into the small intestine. This motion allows for absorption of nutrients from the food product. Peristalsis continues throughout the small intestine and into the colon (large intestine) until defecation.

Peristalsis also happens within the tubes connecting the kidneys and bladder and also the tubes between the gallbladder and duodenum

This is not caused by duodenal switch- Please contact your surgeon to get specific detail of the operation you have had and the recommended diet that they suggest. Our patients with the duodenal switch operation do not experience stool incontinence.
Thank you
