what serious problem is intussiseption associated with?
masses in the wall of the bowel
what does small bowel bacterial overgrowth lead to? (SBBO)
predisposes stasis and malabsorbtion.
Can SBBO lead to bile salt deconjugation?

How
yes, the bacteria in the gut deconjugate it so it cannot form mycells. leads to decrease lipid absorbtion

this is removal of a significant portion of the bowel leaving less than 1/3 of the bowel
what can SBS lead to?
malabsorbtion because of the decrease in surface area and SBBO (this is because of the removal of the Ileocecal valve)
