Colon transit study is helpful in determining the motility of whole colon more or less. It helps in evaluation of how much segment of colon is involved and ruling out other causes of motility disorders.

biofeedback is difficult to do properly. but if done is very helpful in rectoanal prolapse and obstructive sydrome of RECTUM.
