Gastrointestinal bleeding and iron absorption in the experimental blind loop syndrome. (1/24)
Rats with surgically created self-filling jejunal blind loops and the blind loop syndrome manifested gastrointestinal bleeding and hyperabsorption of iron. Although the mean hematocrit and serum iron levels of rats with self-filling blind loops became overtly anemic and manifested low-serum iron levels. It is suggested that the documented gastrointestinal bleeding in these rats with the experimental blind loop syndrome is another manifestation of damage to the intestinal epithelium in conditions of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth.

BACKGROUND: Small intestine bacterial overgrowth is associated with the presence of predisposing conditions, acting through different mechanisms. Therefore, the failure to define a standardized therapy may be due to a methodological bias: to treat a condition characterized by different pathophysiological mechanisms with the same pharmacological approach. Non-absorbable antibiotics could have a lower efficacy than absorbable drugs in patients with blind loops which exclude a portion of the intestine from the transit. AIM: To evaluate the efficacy of absorbable vs. non-absorbable antibiotics in this subgroup of patients. METHODS: A group of small intestine bacterial overgrowth patients with total gastrectomy or gastrojejunostomy and blind loop underwent a therapeutic trial comparing rifaximin to metronidazole. Seven patients underwent a course of rifaximin followed by a course of metronidazole on recurrence of symptoms. To compare the effect of the drugs, another two groups of patients underwent two consecutive courses of rifaximin or metronidazole. Hydrogen breath test after glucose administration and symptom severity measurement were performed. RESULTS: Both drugs reduced breath H(2) excretion but a much better improvement was achieved after metronidazole. Symptom improvement was higher after metronidazole. CONCLUSION: Metronidazole is more effective than rifaximin for the treatment of small intestine bacterial overgrowth associated with the presence of a blind loop.

Human intestinal microbiota create a complex polymicrobial ecology. This is characterised by its high population density, wide diversity and complexity of interaction. Any dysbalance of this complex intestinal microbiome, both qualitative and quantitative, might have serious health consequence for a macro-organism, including small intestinal bacterial overgrowth syndrome (SIBO). SIBO is defined as an increase in the number and/or alteration in the type of bacteria in the upper gastrointestinal tract. There are several endogenous defence mechanisms for preventing bacterial overgrowth: gastric acid secretion, intestinal motility, intact ileo-caecal valve, immunoglobulins within intestinal secretion and bacteriostatic properties of pancreatic and biliary secretion. Aetiology of SIBO is usually complex, associated with disorders of protective antibacterial mechanisms (e.g. achlorhydria, pancreatic exocrine insufficiency, immunodeficiency syndromes), anatomical abnormalities (e.g. small intestinal obstruction, diverticula, fistulae, surgical blind loop, previous ileo-caecal resections) and/or motility disorders (e.g. scleroderma, autonomic neuropathy in diabetes mellitus, post-radiation enteropathy, small intestinal pseudo-obstruction). In some patients more than one factor may be involved. Symptoms related to SIBO are bloating, diarrhoea, malabsorption, weight loss and malnutrition. The gold standard for diagnosing SIBO is still microbial investigation of jejunal aspirates. Non-invasive hydrogen and methane breath tests are most commonly used for the diagnosis of SIBO using glucose or lactulose. Therapy for SIBO must be complex, addressing all causes, symptoms and complications, and fully individualised. It should include treatment of the underlying disease, nutritional support and cyclical gastro-intestinal selective antibiotics. Prognosis is usually serious, determined mostly by the underlying disease that led to SIBO. (+info)Methane production and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth in children living in a slum. (6/24)

Three children with cystic fibrosis developed steatorrhoea unresponsive to changes in pancreatic supplements. The final diagnoses were chronic giardiasis, stagnant loop syndrome, and Crohn's disease. Refractory intestinal symptoms in cystic fibrosis merit further investigation. (+info)Blind Loop Syndrome is a condition that occurs when a portion of the small intestine becomes blocked or obstructed, preventing food and other substances from passing through it properly. This can lead to a buildup of bacteria and other harmful substances in the gut, which can cause a range of symptoms, including diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloating, and weight loss. Blind Loop Syndrome is typically caused by surgery or other medical procedures that involve the removal or bypass of a portion of the small intestine. It can also occur as a complication of certain medical conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease or celiac disease. Treatment for Blind Loop Syndrome typically involves addressing the underlying cause of the condition, such as surgery to remove the blocked or obstructed portion of the small intestine. In some cases, medications or dietary changes may also be recommended to help manage symptoms and prevent complications.
Afferent Loop Syndrome is a rare complication that can occur after a surgical procedure called a Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) for the treatment of obesity. It is caused by a blockage or narrowing of the afferent limb of the Roux-en-Y loop, which is the part of the small intestine that is connected to the stomach. The afferent loop syndrome typically presents with symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. In severe cases, it can lead to dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and malnutrition. The condition is usually diagnosed through imaging studies such as an upper gastrointestinal series or a CT scan. Treatment for afferent loop syndrome typically involves addressing the underlying cause of the blockage or narrowing. This may involve endoscopic procedures such as balloon dilation or stent placement, or surgical intervention. In some cases, dietary modifications or medications may also be used to manage symptoms.
