Symptoms of short bowel syndrome are usually addressed by prescription medicine.  These include:
* Anti-diarrheal medicine (e.g. [[loperamide]], [[codeine]])
* Vitamin and mineral supplements
* [[H2 blocker]] and [[proton pump inhibitor]]s to reduce stomach acid
* [[Lactase]] supplement (to improve the bloating and diarrhoea associated with [[lactose intolerance]])
* Surgery, including intestinal lengthening, tapering, and [[organ transplant]].
* Parenteral nutrition (PN or [[Total parenteral nutrition|TPN]] - nutrition administered via intravenous line).
* Nutrition administered via gastronomy tube


==Prognosis==
==[[Short bowel syndrome epidemiology and demographics|Epidemiology and Demographics]]==
There is no cure for short bowel syndrome.  In newborn infants, the 4-year survival rate on [[Total parenteral nutrition|parenteral nutrition]] is approximately 70%. Some studies suggest that much of the mortality is due to a complication of the TPN, especially [[chronic liver disease]].<ref>{{cite journal |author=Vanderhoof JA, Langnas AN |title=Short-bowel syndrome in children and adults |journal=Gastroenterology |volume=113 |issue=5 |pages=1767-78 |year=1997 |pmid=9352883 |doi=}}</ref> Much hope is vested in [[Omegaven]], a type of lipid TPN feed, in which recent case reports suggest the risk of liver disease is much lower.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Gura KM, Duggan CP, Collier SB, ''et al'' |title=Reversal of parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease in two infants with short bowel syndrome using parenteral fish oil: implications for future management |journal=Pediatrics |volume=118 |issue=1 |pages=e197-201 |year=2006 |pmid=16818533 |doi=10.1542/peds.2005-2662}}</ref>


Although promising, small intestine transplant has a mixed success rate, with postoperative mortality rate of up to 30%.  One-year and 4-year survival rate are 90% and 60%, respectively.
==[[Short bowel syndrome risk factors|Risk Factors]]==


Surgical procedures to lengthen dilated bowel include the Bianchi Procedure (where the bowel is cut in half and one end is sewn to the other) and a newer procedure called serial transverse enteroplasty (STEP -- where the bowel is cut and stapled in a zigzag pattern).  There is controversy over the efficacy of these procedures. They are usually performed by pediatric surgeons at quaternary hospital who specialize in small bowel surgery.
