Synopsis

Understanding intestinal infantilism and how gut bacteria affect growth and health.

This book examines how long-lasting intestinal infection and overgrowth of certain bacteria can slow growth in infants. It explains how impaired absorption of fats, carbohydrates, calcium, and magnesium may influence body development, and it describes the bacterial patterns seen in this condition and how they change during recovery.

• Learn how the body’s nutrition and nutrient absorption relate to growth, energy, and organ development.
• See how specific bacteria dominate the infant gut and how their balance shifts with treatment.
• Discover practical ideas for studying digestive infections and monitoring therapeutic progress.
• Understand the link between intestinal health, weight gain, and overall development in infancy.

Ideal for readers of medical history and researchers focused on pediatric nutrition, gastroenterology, and infectious diseases.
