Are there different degrees of short bowel syndrome?
There are different degrees or severity of short bowel syndrome, and the severity depends on how much of the small intestine has been removed. If you have more than 50% of your small intestine, you may have a mild case, and it presents itself when you overwhelm the small intestine’s ability to do what it normally does. For example, if you decide to eat or drink excessive amounts, then you can overwhelm its normal ability to compensate.
