Intestinal shutdown, or intestinal failure, can be caused by various factors, including severe injuries, surgeries that remove portions of the intestine, or conditions like Crohn's disease and ischemia that damage the bowel. Infections, metabolic disorders, and certain medications can also disrupt normal intestinal function. This condition leads to the inability of the intestines to absorb nutrients and fluids effectively, necessitating medical intervention. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, bloating, and severe malnutrition.
