Abstract

Abstract Multisystem presentations in adolescents often lead clinicians down fragmented diagnostic pathways. Chronic urticaria, multiple allergies, and micronutrient deficiencies are typically approached through immunological or nutritional frameworks, while gastrointestinal dysmotility is often siloed within gastroenterology. This case highlights the diagnostic complexity and systemic interplay between immune dysregulation, nutritional compromise, and colorectal motility disorder in a teenage girl whose symptoms spanned dermatological, gastrointestinal, autonomic, and neurocognitive domains. The case underscores the importance of holistic, cross‑specialty evaluation in adolescents with chronic, unexplained multisystem symptoms. This case highlights a rarely documented pathophysiological axis linking gastrointestinal dysmotility, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, increased intestinal permeability, mast‑cell activation, and systemic allergic manifestations. The patient’s multisystem symptoms—including fatigue, dizziness, bloating, and early satiety—were ultimately traced to a self‑reinforcing loop involving immune dysregulation and nutritional compromise. Her recovery was achieved through coordinated multidisciplinary care.
