Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Internal Medicine
  • Clinical Medicine

Background:

  • Bowel bypass syndrome (BBS) is a known complication of intestinal bypass surgeries.
  • A subset of patients present with BBS-like symptoms but lack a history of intestinal bypass surgery.

Observation:

  • This report details two cases of "Bowel bypass syndrome without bowel bypass" (BBOWBB).
  • Case 1 involved a patient who improved with metronidazole and ciprofloxacin.
  • Case 2 showed response to prednisone and metronidazole.

Findings:

  • BBOWBB mimics the clinical and diagnostic features of traditional BBS.
  • The condition appears to be responsive to specific antibiotic and anti-inflammatory therapies.
  • Successful treatment varied between antibiotic and steroid regimens.

Implications:

  • BBOWBB represents a distinct clinical entity requiring accurate diagnosis.
  • Therapeutic strategies for BBOWBB may differ from traditional BBS management.
  • Further research is warranted to elucidate the pathophysiology and optimal treatment of BBOWBB.
