Abstract
A case of malabsorption due to a stagnant loop which occurred in a huge ventral hernia is presented. The clinical course was relatively indolent with symptoms of malabsorption and occasional abdominal pain. Although rare, abdominal hernia can lead to malabsorption due to bacterial overgrowth as a result of stagnant loop.
