Nutrient Absorption in Gastrointestinal Disorders

Nutrient absorption in gastrointestinal disorders refers to how well the intestines take in vital nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and energy from food. When the digestive system is affected by conditions such as Crohn’s disease, celiac disease, or infections, this process can be impaired, leading to less nutrient uptake. As a result, the body may not get enough essential nutrients, causing symptoms like weakness, fatigue, or weight loss. Treatment often involves managing the underlying condition, adjusting diet, and sometimes supplementing nutrients to support overall health.
