What is it ?

  #2

It's a condition in which blockage of the small intestine for one reason or another (ie, resection of GI or complication from IBS) leads to overgrowth of bacteria, hence the name blind loop (it ain't going anywhere smiling face. Also, there is impairment of absorption of B12 etc.

Hmmm, what drug would you use for eradication of bacteria?
