Question

if small intestine does not work properly what happens?

Answer 1

Normally, the small intestine absorbs most of the water and nutrients in the foods we eat. Sometimes the small intestine does not work properly due to injury or disease or because part has been removed to treat another problem, such as gastroschisis. In these cases, a child may not have enough functioning small intestine to absorb the nutrition they need.

Many diseases and conditions can lead to intestinal failure in children.

The most common cause is short bowel syndrome (SBS). Children with SBS have had at least half of their small intestine removed to treat an injury, a disease or another intestinal problem. How severe SBS is depends on how much of your child’s small intestine still works.

Answer 2

Then we cannot digest our food properly.So to make it work properly you have to drink more water...
