Title: Revised Medical Criteria for Evaluating Digestive Disorders (3441P) 
Abstract: Sections 5.00 and 105.00, Digestive Systems, of appendix 1 to subpart P of part 404 of our regulations describe those digestive disorders that are considered severe enough to prevent a person from doing any gainful activity, or for a child claiming Supplemental Security Income payments under title XVI, that cause marked and severe functional limitations. We are proposing to revise the criteria in these sections to ensure that the medical evaluation criteria are up-to-date and consistent with the latest advances in medical knowledge and treatment.
