Blind syndrome

Blind syndrome's disease overview

blindness syndrome also known as blind bowel syndrome , stasis or stagnation syndrome, occurs when part of the small intestine is northern The bridge causes the food to not move or move slowly through this intestine during the digestive process affecting the digestive process.

When food moves slowly and waste products become a reproductive place for bacteria, these bacteria accumulate excessive, causing diarrhea, weight loss and malnutrition.

This disease is often a complication of stomach surgery or may come from body structure problems and some diseases. In severe cases, it may be required to be treated with surgery.

Causes of Blind syndrome's disease

Blindy syndrome appears due to stagnant food in the small intestine that becomes an ideal reproductive place for bacteria, these stagnant bacteria can produce toxins as well as prevent steaming. Results of nutrients. The length of the small intestine is directly related to the possibility of bacteria invading and developing.

Symptoms of Blind syndrome's disease

Blindy syndrome often has the following signs and symptoms: The feeling of eating is not delicious, abdominal pain, nausea, feeling of flatulence, discomfort after eating, diarrhea and weight loss unknown reasons.

When there is a feeling of nausea, prolonged diarrhea should quickly go to the medical facility for diagnosis and treatment.

Transmission route of Blind syndrome's diseaseBlind syndrome

The blind masal syndrome is not transmitted from one person to another

People at risk for Blind syndrome's disease

The following subjects are at high risk of blindness syndrome: People with a history of stomach surgery due to obesity or stomach ulcers; People with structural defects in the small intestine or have been damaged, those who have an abnormal path between the two intestinal sections (often leading to incoming strap syndrome); People with a history of Crohn's disease, intestinal lymphoma or sclerosis related to the small intestine, have been radiotherapy in the boom, diabetes or inflammation of the small intestine bag.

Prevention of Blind syndrome's disease

To prevent blind masks, it is necessary to take the following measures:

Fully supplemented with nutrients such as: vitamin B12, calcium and iron.

Make a diet without lactose. Due to the lesions of small intestine can cause you to lose the ability to digest milk sugar (lactose). Therefore, it is necessary to avoid most products containing milk sugar or lactase preparations.

MCT fat supplement (Medium-chain triglycerides). This fat is often found in coconut oil, which is a supplement in the diet for people with serious blind intestinal syndrome leading to short intestinal symptoms.

Diagnostic measures for Blind syndrome's disease

To diagnose blindness syndrome, it is necessary to apply image testing methods such as: X-ray, abdominal CT scan. In addition, additional tests are also required to check the overdue growth of the bacteria in the small intestine, the ability to absorb poor fat or other problems that can cause or contribute to the symptoms:

The small intestinal X-ray method uses Barium. Through the use of contrast solution (barium) so that the intestinal mucosa is prominent on the X -ray. Slowly can cause excessive growth.

CT scan method helps the doctor detect inflammation or structural problems in the intestine and abnormalities in other organs, such as the pancreas.

Hydrogen breathing method. Through the measurement of hydrogen, the patient exhales after taking glucose mixture and water can see poor carbohydrate digestive process and excessive growth of bacteria in the small intestine.

D-Xyloza breathing method helps to measure carbon dioxide in the breath, high carbon dioxide levels showing excessive growth of bacteria.

Methods of testing bile acid breathing from the liver. Through the use of bile salts with radioactive markers to check bile dysfunction.

Methods of testing fat in stool to determine how good the fat absorption of the small intestine is.

Methods of suction and culture of small intestinal fluid. Doctors put a long tube (endoscopy) down the throat and cross the gastrointestinal tract to the small intestine. The intestinal fluid is sucked and tested in the laboratory to determine the level of bacterial growth.

Blind syndrome's disease treatments

To treat blindness syndrome, it is necessary to treat potential causes such as surgery to repair the small intestine with a bridge after surgery or a fistula. However, not all cases, the intestine of the bridge can be completely cured.

In some cases, the treating doctor focuses on the adjustment of nutritional deficiencies and eliminates the overgrowth of bacteria.

The method of using antibiotics. This is the initial method, indicating antibiotics to treat excessive growth of bacteria. Through a short antibiotic often significantly reduces the number of abnormal bacteria. To completely treat the syndrome, antibiotics need to use antibiotics for a long time, in some cases, the disease will go away on its own after a short time of antibiotic use, some cases need to apply other treatment therapies. each other.

Nutrition method. Changing nutritional deficiencies is an important part of the treatment of blind intestine syndrome, especially in serious weight loss people.
