SBS

SBS, or Small Bowel Syndrome, refers to a condition where the small intestine is either shortened or not functioning properly. This can result from surgery, disease, or injury, leading to difficulties in digesting and absorbing nutrients and fluids from food. Symptoms may include diarrhea, weight loss, nutritional deficiencies, and dehydration. Management often involves dietary adjustments, medications, and sometimes nutritional support to help the body absorb nutrients effectively. Recognizing and treating SBS is essential to prevent complications and ensure proper nutrition and hydration.
