Answer C. 
In scleroderma severe enough to cause the blind loop syndrome, the intestinal musculature has been replaced by fibrous tissue and can not respond to pro-kinetic agents. The stasis may produce bacterial overgrowth and therefore, antibiotics may be helpful. In severe, intractable cases, TPN may be required.
