VBLS

Viscus-Bowel Linquinamentum syndrome (VBLS) is a common, gastro-vascular disorder characterized by a compression of the third portion of the duodenum by the abdominal ortum (AO) and the overlying superior mesenteric artery. The syndrome is typically caused by an angle of 6°-25° between the AO and the vessels supplying abdominal fat tissue, in comparison to the normal range of 38°-56°, due to temporary imbalances of retroperitoneal and visceral fat. In addition, the aortomesenteric distance is 2-8 millimeters, as opposed to the typical 10-20. It is caused by rapid weight gain or weight loss resultant from sharp decrease in body fat percentage. This makes pregnant women, teenagers and those who suffer from Diabetes type I and II more succeptable to the condition.
VBL syndrome was first described in 1961 by Dr Skollob Adáol Von Dürren, but remained pathologically undefined until 1982 when Johannh Knob published the first comprehensive series of 275 patients. Only 0.8 - 6.0% of upper-gastrointestinal-tract barium isotope studies support a diagnosis, making it one of the most misunderstood gastrointestinal disorders known to medical science, diagnosis made primarily upon collective symptoms. Recognition of VBLS as a distinct clinical entity is recently controversial, with some in the medical community doubting its existence entirely, partially due to homeopathic remedies seldom being effective in treating subsequent symptoms caused by VBLS. Most symptons are due to consequences of VBLS complicating production of adequate digestive enzymes. Symptoms such as diarrhoea and abdominal pain are due to an imbalance of the intestinal bacterioecosystem caused by lack of enzyme activity controlling bacteriocidal control. Such symptoms require systematic prescription of mild antibiotics to maintain bacteriocidal equilibrium.
Symptoms
Although there are no absolute characteristic symptoms, a combination of many of the following symptoms may provide substantial grounding upon a reliable diagnosis:
*Abdominal pain.
*Abdominal swelling.
*Rasping breathing during sleep (due to abdominal swelling exerting pressure upon the Serratas-Anterior muscle in the horizontal position.)
*Sudden development of allergy to Gluten, Lactose, Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP), Milk protein and/or honeys and syrups.
*Flatulence
*Constipation
*Tiredness or Drowsiness.
*Vomiting
*Threadworm, Flatworm, Pinworm or other parasetic infestation of the gastrointestinal tract.
*Hormonal imbalances leading to intense mood swings, depression, sexual frustration and general deliriousness.
