The chemical that primarily damages the lining of the small intestine is alcohol, especially in excessive amounts. Chronic alcohol consumption can lead to inflammation, mucosal injury, and increased intestinal permeability. Additionally, certain non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can also harm the intestinal lining by disrupting the protective mucus layer and promoting ulceration. Other factors, such as infections or certain toxins, can further exacerbate this damage.
