This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The objectives of this study are to characterize critical features in the natural history of Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS) in children and in particular to assess the presence of small bowel bacterial overgrowth (SBBO), its effect on intestinal permeability and mucosal inflammation while assessing the impact of these factors on enteral nutrition tolerance.
