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.
