Disproportionaldilatationofsmall intestine with large amount offluidretention, suggestive of intestinalobstruction. The transitionzoneis over distalileumandno evidence of tumor.
Based on these findings, we propose a model whereby deficiencies in disaccharidases and hexose transporters alter the milieu of carbohydrates in the distal small intestine (ileum) and proximal large intestine (cecum), resulting in the supply of additional growth substrates for bacteria.
