Steatorrhea Food

Steatorrhea is a disease associated with impaired absorption of fat in the body, in which it is not digested and absorbed in the intestines. The disorder occurs for various reasons, but the main ones are a lack of bile acids or pancreatic enzymes, as well as inflammatory bowel and liver diseases.

With steatorrhea, a person loses a large amount of fat in the stool. Most often, steatorrhea is not accompanied by other symptoms, although indigestion, flatulence, or diarrhea may sometimes occur. If a person loses a significant amount of fat, this can lead to its deficiency in the body. As a result, metabolic disorders and deficiency of fat-soluble vitamins and amino acids appear.

**Steatorrhea.**

Nutritional steatorrhea is a complication that occurs when the bile ducts are insufficient. It is characterized by the absence of the gallbladder and an increase in the tone of the gallbladder, as a result of which food is poorly digested and absorbed, and its particles (food remains) pass through the intestines undigested, which causes oily (stearic) stools. The patient experiences cases of diarrhea, increased gas formation, stool and general condition are disturbed. The presence of steatorrhea indicates that there are disturbances in the emptying of the large intestine.
