Some patients suffer from symptoms involving other organs like painful joints due to arthritis. Ulcerative colitis and hip pain, or backache caused by sacro-iliitis is not infrequent. skin nodules called erythema nodosum, and an acute painful red eye called uveitis are some other complications. Few patients also have involvement of the liver with inflammation of the bile ducts and presenting as jaundice, fever and even lead on to cirrhosis. Stricture or narrowing of the large intestine, esp. near the anal canal and recto-sigmoid junction are seen in some patients. A rare complication is a development of a fistula or abnormal connections between the rectum and adjacent structures . Development of colon cancer is a possibility when a person suffers from extensive disease for more than eight years. Yearly colonoscopy with biopsy is necessary to pick up malignancy at the earliest and nip it in the bud. |

Posted on: 10/17/2009 Sure thing, he has a difficulty digesting foods. Has anyone ever heard of Habba Syndrome? (We all Habba syndrome at one time or another – Ha! Forgive the cheap pun.) Habba Syndrome was first described by Dr. Saad F. Habba, as a condition in which chronic diarrhea is associated with abnormal activity and excess bile being released by the gall bladder. Dr. Habba (who checks out – he's got his bona fides in order) first described and attached his name to the syndrome (which was published) in the early 2000s. It is different from Irritable Bowel Syndrome, as it doesn't present with abdominal pain and generally improves with fasting. Treatment is usually a course of bile acid binding agent therapy, and some of them are generic – so it might not run you payday loans to treat it, if you get diagnosed.
