  2. Short bowel syndrome which is a mal-absorption disorder is caused by the problems occurring in the small intestine. The individuals suffering from SBS often face a decrease in their ability to absorb nutrients such as fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. The syndrome in extreme circumstances can result in intestinal failure. In rare cases, infants suffer from congenital short bowel syndrome, a condition where the child is born without a small intestine. The main symptoms of Short bowel syndrome include: Excessive weight reduction Restlessness Tiredness Bloating Nausea Anorexia Diarrhoea If you observe the aforementioned symptoms, seek medical attention from the best hospital in Panchkula immediately.

  3. Short Bowel Syndrome usually affects individuals with defected or altered small intestines. With your body devoid of the absolute functioning of this organ, the affected individual is not able to digest and utilize nutrients, rendering him/her weak and undernourished. This all together leads to bowel troubles like diarrhoea, which can be dangerous and unhealthy, if neglected. SBS is also common if you’ve had portions of the small intestine missing or damaged at the time of the birth. There is also a possibility of your kid being born with a short or a damaged small intestine which must be surgically rectified/reconstructed. The treatment for SBS varies accordingly. Firstly, to diagnose short bowel syndrome, your doctor might ask you to get a blood or stool test which would help them gauge the nutrient level in your body. Some of the tests might also include the use of imaging procedures, such as CT Scan X-ray with a contrast material (barium X-ray) MRI CT or MR Enterography The aforementioned tests will help your doctor identify the obstructions or variations in your intestine.

  4. People with Small Bowel Syndrome are advised to follow a special diet along with eating nutritional supplements. Some people might also need to intake nutrition through their veins (parenteral nutrition) or a feeding tube (enteral nutrition) to prevent malnutrition. Most importantly, one constantly needs to assist his/her body through a balanced diet. Affected individuals are encouraged to eat whenever possible as eating stimulates intestinal absorption and promotes intestinal adaption.
