What is malabsorption?
Malabsorption Syndrome is caused by the body's inability to absorb nutrients from foods. This abnormality can cause a number of health issues. It can affect the gastrointestinal system, causing gas and cramping, which can lead to diarrhea and constipation. It can cause vomiting and weight loss; it can also cause a condition called "failure to thrive." Most digestion takes place in the small intestine, during which nutrients are absorbed by the body bloodstream. If the intestine is injured or diseased (inherited diseases/disorder, genetic damage), it can cause or lead to the body's inability to metabolize food or parts of foods, in varying degrees from mild to serious, acute to chronic. Malabsorption syndrome generally inhibits the body's ability to metabolize certain fats, proteins, sugars/carbohydrates, minerals, and/or vitamins.Diagnoses and treatment requires medical attention, laboratory testing, and monitoring of the condition. Malabsorption syndrome can affect anyone at any age, including at birth.

Conditions like celiac disease, Crohn's disease, and certain pancreatic disorders can contribute to such malabsorption issues.
