Crohn’s disease is a condition of malabsorption caused by
a) inflammation of all layers of intestinal mucosa.
Crohn’s disease is also known as regional enteritis and can occur
anywhere along the GI tract, but most commonly at the distal ileum
and in the colon.
b) infectious disease.
Infectious disease causes problems such as small bowel bacterial
overgrowth leading to malabsorption.
c) disaccharidase deficiency.
Disaccharidase deficiency leads to lactose intolerance.
d) gastric resection.
Postoperative malabsorption occurs after gastric or intestinal resection.
