While it’s not a disease, malabsorption is a broad term used to describe the body’s inability to absorb nutrients through the intestines into the bloodstream. Some of the more common causes of malabsorption are cystic fibrosis, chronic pancreatitis, Crohn’s disease, liver disease, ulcerative colitis, stomach or bowel surgery, celiac disease, bacterial or parasitic infections , lactose intolerance, and certain medications affecting the intestines.
