Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS)
|
Short bowel syndrome (SBS) usually occurs when part of the small intestine has been removed for surgical reasons, such as to treat necrotising enterocolitis or Crohn's disease. On the other hand, infants can sometimes be born with a congenital short bowel. Symptoms include severe diarrhoea, cramping, bloating and fatigue. No cure is known for short bowel syndrome. As most absorption of food and nutrients occurs in the small intestine, people with short bowel syndrome are unable to absorb sufficient volumes of water & nutrients from food to sustain life.
We do not recommend probiotics containing Lactobacillus acidophilus Rosell-52 for infants for those with Short Bowel Syndrome.
