Integrated Intestinal Rehabilitation Center in Bahrain
Gastroenterology
King’s College Hospital London, Dubai Bahrain Clinic supports adults and children with complex intestinal conditions that affect nutrition, hydration, growth, recovery, and day-to-day life. As a leading Intestinal Rehabilitation Center in Bahrain, we bring together specialist teams to manage even the most complex bowel conditions.
What is intestinal rehabilitation?
Intestinal rehabilitation is specialist care for people whose bowel is not absorbing enough fluid, nutrients, vitamins, minerals, or energy. This may happen after bowel surgery, because of short bowel syndrome, intestinal failure, congenital bowel conditions, severe malabsorption, or complex gastrointestinal disease.
What does intestinal rehabilitation do?
Care focuses on helping the bowel work as well as possible, while reducing complications and improving nutrition and hydration. A rehabilitation plan may include medication, dietetic support, stoma care, fluid and electrolyte planning, parenteral or enteral nutrition, surgery review, and long-term follow-up.

- Short bowel syndrome
