Even though food may have been properly broken down into its smaller units, improper absorption leads to many distressing conditions as the unabsorbed food ferments, decomposes and forms toxins. Poor functioning of the small intestine can have many consequences ranging from mal-absorption to Irritable Bowel Syndrome, manifesting as:
-Abdominal pain, relived after passing stools.
-A bloated or distended abdomen.
-Loose or frequent stools along with abdominal pain. Loose stools frequently alternate with constipation.
-Long-standing constipation without pain.
-A feeling of incomplete evacuation despite having passed stools.
- Too much gas without any other complaint.
