Long bowel, often referred to in medical contexts as “long bowel syndrome,” is a condition characterized by an extended or elongated intestine. This can lead to various digestive issues, including malabsorption of nutrients and diarrhea, as the elongated bowel may disrupt normal digestive processes. It can result from congenital abnormalities or surgical alterations, such as bowel resection. Management may involve dietary adjustments, medications, and sometimes surgical interventions to optimize bowel function and improve nutrient absorption.
