Malabsorption

Malabsorption is a condition where the body has difficulty absorbing nutrients from food in the intestines. This can lead to deficiencies in vitamins, minerals, and calories, resulting in weight loss, fatigue, and digestive symptoms like diarrhea or bloating. Conditions such as celiac disease, Crohn's disease, and pancreatic insufficiency can cause malabsorption. Treatment typically involves dietary changes, supplements, and addressing the underlying cause to restore proper nutrient absorption and overall health.
