Short Bowel Syndrome: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment
Your Guide to
Short Bowel Syndrome
By working closely with your doctor, you can keep your symptoms under control and lead an active life. Short bowel syndrome can be very serious if you don't follow your treatment plan. You can become dehydrated, and there's a chance your body won't get enough nutrients.
For some people, the condition gets better, and they don’t need a lot of treatment after a while. Whether your short bowel syndrome goes away depends on your age, how healthy you are, how much of your small and large intestines remain, and whether you have another condition like Crohn’s disease.
