Small Intestine Disorders

Nutrient absorption and digestion depend on the small intestine in great part. Diseases compromising this organ might cause major medical problems. Among the common disorders are small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), coeliac disease, Crohn's disease, and intestinal blockages.
An autoimmune condition brought on by gluten, coeliac disease causes inflammation and nutrient lossSmall Intestine Disorders.

One kind of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn's disease, causes ulcers and persistent inflammation. IBS causes pain, bloating, irregular bowel motions, and changes in intestinal motility. When damaging bacteria overgrows in the small intestine, SIBO results from bloating, diarrhoea, and malnutrition. Adhesions, hernias, tumours, or other causes of intestinal obstructions—which prevent food and fluid passage—demand rapid medical intervention.
Though they vary, small intestine problems usually cause abdominal pain, diarrhoea, bloating, weight loss, and nutritional inadequacies. Diagnosis calls for endoscopy, biopsy, imaging, and blood testing.
Treatment depends on the condition; it ranges from dietary adjustments and probiotics to drugs, antibiotics, or surgery. Keeping a good diet and controlling stress help you avoid problems. Improving digestive health and general well-being depends on early diagnosis and treatment.
