Short Bowel Syndrome

Posting a definition for it from the net also:

Short bowel syndrome (SBS, also short gut syndrome or simply short gut) is a malabsorption disorder caused by the surgical removal of the small intestine, or rarely due to the complete dysfunction of a large segment of bowel. Most cases are acquired, although some children with a congenital short bowel. It does usually not develop unless a person has lost more than two thirds of their small intestine
