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). According to the books I've read on the subject, dark, green, leafy vegetables seem to be the only way to get alkaline again.
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.
If there is a change in the natural shape of the intestines, this can be known as a twisted bowel. A twist in the small intestine is referred to as a volvulus. Twists in the large intestine are known as a colonic volvulus. twisted bowel is caused when the intestines fold over themselves. In some cases, they will untwist on their own, but many cases will require medical intervention. Infants born with twisted bowel or an intestinal malrotation are more likely to develop twisted bowel later in life.
