How Is Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS) Connected To Baby Formula?
National studies demonstrated how the potential for developing short bowel syndrome (SBS) in premature infants (before 37 weeks) increases with cow’s milk-based infant formula, while decreasing with breast milk.
Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is a condition affecting individuals who lose the use of a major part of their small intestine–and this condition can also be found particularly in premature infants (before 37 weeks) who have been given milk-based infant formulas such as Similac® or Enfamil® in the hospital.
This syndrome often occurs after milk-based infant formulas force the premature infants (before 37 weeks) to undergo bowel resection surgery, in which a portion of the intestine is removed.
After bowel surgery, patients–especially premature infants (before 37 weeks)--often have difficulty absorbing all of the nutrients they need.
Short bowel syndrome (SBS) symptoms essentially originate from the inability to absorb essential nutrients from food, including:
- abdominal bloating
- vomiting
- abdominal pain
- failure to gain weight
- dehydration
- diarrhea
- vitamin and mineral deficiencies
According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, short bowel syndrome (SBS) is the most common cause of intestinal failure in infants. With necrotizing enterocolitis, gastroschisis, intestinal atresia and intestinal malrotation/volvulus being the leading causes of SBS in neonates and young infants.
