Short bowel syndrome - causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, pathology

My Bowel was gang green my Dr had to remove a large amount left me with a Malapsorsion Syndrome i take Questran Lite every day at night .

Hang in there

My grandson is facing this. He has gained weight , he is low in vitamin B12 from loose stools. He eats several small meals a day, drink small amount of liquid with food. Waits an hour and starts drinking more fluids, adding Pedialyte to his diet. He takes Imodium for diahrea. He has an ileostomy for over a year now. Surgeon says he can have it reversed, they fixed it during surgery for future reconnection to the large intestine. It worries me that what if the small intestine he has left fails. TPN everyday would be something to have to get use to. An I heard some people can still eat food, but their nutrition has to come from intravenous feeding. Which carries a huge risk of sepsis from the port. I pray things get better if he's reconnected. Maybe there's enough bowel to reconnect that will help. He had a perverated bowel from a blockage. He's only 26, so young.

The body is remarkable machine, and can adapt to almost any situation. Because of Crohn’s disease, and intestinal cancer, over the past 32 years off my life I’ve had 37 surgeries, removing all but 5% of my entire gastrointestinal tract. In total I have had eight different intestinal diversions, including five different ileostomy ‘s, 2 k pouches, and a j pouch. Currently I have an end ileostomy, all the other diversions failed due to multiple adhesions, and constant postop complications and infections, but at 52 years old, I’m still alive, despite what my doctors had told me. It really started when I was first diagnosed with Crohn’s disease shortly after my 20th birthday. When I was 21 my entire large intestine ruptured, a.k.a., a toxic megacolon, killing me for two minutes, thankfully I was already in the hospital when it happened, they open me up to clean out my abdominal cavity that was now flooded with toxins after the rupture, and they found two very small tumours about the size of a pea. The pathology indicated the most aggressive strain of intestinal cancer, thank God it was just in its beginning stages, unfortunately it came back three more times, while I was undergoing all the other operations. All three times I was given less than a 5% chance of survival, but it’s true, only the good die young, I’ll live forever. I don’t have to rely on TPN, and can survive orally, with a very limited diet, and one hell of a lot of nutritional supplements that I have to grind into powder, but it still beats having to go on TPN for the rest of my life. Since there’s literally almost no more intestine left to operate on, I’ve been stable for about two years, but the cancer could come back at any time, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed, and doing everything I can to stay as healthy as possible. It’s one hell of a diet though, Jenny Craig eat your heart out, at 5‘11“ tall, no matter how much I try to eat I can never get past 155 pounds, and for the majority of my life I was always a big guy, my normal Weight was about 240 pounds, but with each surgery that number dropped, I had my last surgery exactly 2 years ago this very day, when I weighed 128 pounds, so I’ve come along way. I never thought I’d recover from that last one, but to anyone anyone reading this, like I said before, you’d be amazed what the human body can do, and how it can adapt to almost any situation. Unfortunately I was forced to retire at the age of 46, just because my health is too precarious to work any job, so I have to live on permanent long-term disability, but the bigger part is dealing with the depression and anxiety I developed, along with PTSD, all side effects from having that many surgeries, and having my whole world turned upside down. I was told that I represent 0.01% of all gastrointestinal patients, so don’t worry, my case is so rare that you’ll never get as bad as me, but even if you do, you manage, one way or the other. I get a kick out of people who keep telling me how brave I am, asking me how I did it, and my standard answer? I kept breathing! It’s not like I decided to do this just for fun, I had no choice, it was either that or die, but thanks to the love and support of my family, which is very important when you’re going through something like that, I made it, at least so far!

That duodenum looks too long. Wasnt it suppost to be just C shape with 4 parts (20 to 25 cm)? Also isnt jejunum more located on the right or upper right? While ileum is more on the left? Hence the location for ileostomy?

No colon 150cm small
