|
Habba Syndrome was first described by Saad F. Habba, MD. He graduated from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and practices in Summit, New Jersey. Dr. Habba is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York. The main symptom of Habba Syndrome is post-prandial diarrhea (three or more bowel movements per day for at least three months, which can range from simple urgency to incontinence). This is related to dysfunctional gallbladder which produces inappropriate amount of bile. cholecystectomy does not greatly influence the symptoms. Patients with Habba Syndrome may be misdiagnosed as having Irritable Bowel Syndrome, IBS. Treatment consists of low doses of cholestyramine, a cholesterol-lowering drug. |
