When people eat, most of the food is broken down in the stomach and absorbed in the small intestine. However, in many people with Crohn's disease — and in nearly all of those with small bowel Crohn's disease — the small intestine is unable to absorb nutrients properly, resulting in what is known as malabsorption.
People with Crohn’s disease have an inflamed intestinal tract. The inflammation or irritation can occur in any part of the intestinal tract, but it most commonly affects the lower section of the small intestine, which is known as the ileum. The small intestine is where critical nutrient absorption takes place, so many people with Crohn’s disease don’t digest and absorb nutrients well. This can result in various problems, including malabsorption of important vitamins and minerals. These vitamin and mineral deficiencies may eventually lead to additional health complications, such as dehydration and malnutrition.
