Short bowel/gut syndrome

How about somethig dedicated to those of us that have SBS?

Or did I miss the category dedicated to SBS/SGS?

Hi there -

No, we don't currently have a forum for that.  Doing a search on this, it seems like most people are posting in Gastro or IBS.  

Do you know how many people have this condition?  Could it support an entire forum?  

In the meantime, please feel free to create a user group for this.  At the top of the page, under Forums, choose User Groups.  You can search to see if someone already has one, or create one yourself.

Hey thanks.  I had totally forgotten I had made the posting.  I guess that like most folks we tend to look under the IBS or Gastro sections of this (or any other)site.

On the surface it seems like there are not a lot of us SBS/SGS survivors out there.

I do like your suggestin though and and I will do a thorough search and if I find nothing I will create a user group and see what happens.

Again, thank you.

I have SBS due to when I was a newborn I had NEC. I was wondering if you follow a certain diet?

Hi tayandky,

You might try looking in one of these two forums to ask your question and connect with others who have this condition:
