Blind loop syndrome – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1719064637

Blind loop syndrome is a medical condition that occurs when part of the small intestine is bypassed or obstructed and cut off from the normal flow of food and digestive juices. As a result, food ferments, encouraging bacterial growth and interfering with absorption of essential nutrients.
