TREATMENT OF MALABSORPTION
The treatment of malabsorption is too diverse to be summarized in general terms and depends in considerable measure on the stage at which the defect occurs as well as its direct causation. Treatment may include cimetidine or ranitidine for a gastrinoma; the daily use of pancreatic enzyme preparations; antibiotics for the bacterial overgrowth syndrome or Whipple’s disease; the use of a gluten-free diet for celiac disease; the use of median chain fatty acids, which are more readily absorbed; surgical repair of biliary obstruction, blind loops, or fistulas; or the chemotherapy of lymphoma. It may also require replacement therapy with fat-soluble vitamins and other specific nutrients. Rarely total parenteral nutrition may be indicated (e.g., for the short bowel syndrome).
