Conclusion
The dose of the traditional medicines can not be regulated and
exaggerated treatment may mimic some clinical conditions. Physicians
should be aware of different manifestations of familiar diseases, such
as SBO, which may occur following endemic fruit consumption, especially
in the regions where traditional medicine popular. Questioning ’the last
food’ consumed just before the complaints start may give a clue about
food-related SBO. Recognizing typical symptoms of excessive consumption
of any food may contribute physicians to plan the optimal management and
avoid unnecessary surgical interventions.
