October 13th, 2009. 1  Has anyone looked into the ph balance connection - ie. we are all probably very acidic (around 4 or 5) on the ph scale rather than what is considered normal (7). According to the books I've read on the subject, dark, green, leafy vegetables seem to be the only way to get alkaline again.
Pathophysiology. Intestinal malrotation occurs due to disruption of the normal embryologic development of the bowel. Understanding of normal abdominal development aids in the understanding of the etiology of the clinical findings seen with malrotation. The alimentary tract develops from the embryologic foregut, midgut, and hindgut.
Woman, 30 years old. I was diagnosed with a malrotation of the cecum--where part of my large intestine along with my appendix are in the upper right quadrant as opposed to the lower right quadrant. I occasionally have some abdominal pain...usually it's associated with constipation or stress.
