Absorption Disorders Explained

Absorption disorders can be caused by food intolerances as well as by diseases of the stomach, small intestine, pancreas, and bile excretion. All these organs are required to break down food into its individual components and to transfer the cleavage products into the blood and lymph channels with the help of special transport systems. Disturbances in the absorption function lead to a reduced absorption of nutrients and vital substances, which can result in symptoms of deficiency.
