Habba syndrome is not new, but has only been recognized as a disease since the early 2000s. It gets its name from Dr. Saad Habba, who began to study patients who suffered from chronic diarrhea, particularly occurring after meals, to determine if causes other than irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) might account for this condition in a certain percentage of these patients, especially those who did not respond to the normal treatments for IBS. In 2000, Dr. Habba published his first finding, suggesting that a certain condition could be mistaken for IBS but had completely different causes, relating to abnormal contractions of the gallbladder, and the name Habba syndrome become associated with Dr. Habba’s findings.
The symptoms of Habba syndrome are usually chronic, watery diarrhea that can occur directly after meals and is not generally associated with significant cramping, a hallmark of IBS. Symptoms will often go away if people fast, not the case with IBS, and don’t respond well to usual IBS treatments. The syndrome can make it embarrassing for people, as diarrhea may be difficult to control, and people may try to abstain from eating because of the clear connection between food consumption and bouts of diarrhea. Chronic diarrhea may also lead to poor absorption of needed nutrients, and some people may feel fatigued or ill at all times, and not be able to lead normal lives.
