AbstractShort bowel syndrome can present many complex management issues and may be complicated by various metabolic problems. D-lactic acidosis in the setting of short bowel syndrome has been described only rarely in children. A further case is presented with a review of typical clinical manifestations of D-lactic acidosis and reported management options. Early recognition and appropriate management is essential to avoid morbidity secondary to this complication of short bowel syndrome. Probiotic therapies may have an increasing role in prevention and management of this complication.
