October 13th, 2009. 1  Has anyone looked into the ph balance connection - ie. we are all probably very acidic (around 4 or 5) on the ph scale rather than what is considered normal (7).

Pathophysiology. Intestinal malrotation occurs due to disruption of the normal embryologic development of the bowel. Understanding of normal abdominal development aids in the understanding of the etiology of the clinical findings seen with malrotation. The alimentary tract develops from the embryologic foregut, midgut, and hindgut.
There are some fairly uncommon disorders that result in malabsorption. One possibility is short bowel syndrome. This condition may be a birth defect or the result of surgery. The surface area of the bowel decreases, and this hinders the bowelâs ability to absorb nutrients.
