  2. Intestinal villus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intestinal_villus

    The intestinal villi are much smaller than any of the circular folds in the intestine. Villi increase the internal surface area of the intestinal walls making available a greater surface area for absorption. An increased absorptive area is useful because digested nutrients (including monosaccharide and amino acids) pass into the semipermeable ...

    Refractory coeliac disease should not be confused with the persistence of symptoms despite gluten withdrawal [114] caused by transient conditions derived from the intestinal damage, [111] [112] [115] which generally revert or improve several months after starting a gluten-free diet, [116] [117] such as small intestinal bacterial overgrowth ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giardiasis

    [7] [22] Ultimately, the community of microorganisms that lives in the intestine may overgrow and may be the cause of further symptoms, though this idea has not been fully investigated. The alteration of the villi leads to an inability of nutrient and water absorption from the intestine, resulting in diarrhoea, one of the predominant symptoms. [22]

  6. Environmental enteropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_enteropathy

    The intestinal mucosa turnover is dynamic, nutrient-dependent and rapid, [52] and malnourished children have rate-limiting stores for repairing mucosal damage. [ 24 ] The nutrients known to contribute to intestinal regeneration and improved barrier function are sulphur containing amino acids, [ 53 ] glutamine, vitamin A and zinc.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoimmune_enteropathy

    Autoimmune enteropathy is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by weight loss from malabsorption, severe and protracted diarrhea, and autoimmune damage to the intestinal mucosa.

  9. Malabsorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malabsorption

    Small intestine : major site of absorption. Symptoms can manifest in a variety of ways and features might give a clue to the underlying condition. Symptoms can be intestinal or extra-intestinal - the former predominates in severe malabsorption. [citation needed] Diarrhoea, often steatorrhoea, is the most common feature. Watery, diurnal and ...
