Malabsorption syndrome is a condition where the body cannot properly absorb nutrients from food. This can lead to deficiencies in vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients, resulting in various health issues. Common causes include celiac disease, Crohn's disease, and infections that affect the digestive system. Symptoms of malabsorption syndrome may include weight loss, diarrhea, bloating, and fatigue. Diagnosis typically involves blood tests, stool tests, and imaging studies to identify the underlying cause. Treatment often focuses on managing the underlying condition and may include dietary changes and nutritional supplements to ensure adequate nutrient intake.
