Overview

Blind loop syndrome is a medical condition that occurs when the intestine is obstructed, slowing or stopping the progress of digested food, and thus facilitating the growth of bacteria to the point that problems in nutrient absorption occur.

Differentiating [Disease name] from other Diseases


Blind loop syndrome should be differentiated from other diseases causing mal absorption, nutritional imbalances.
