Malabsorption syndrome is something you have no doubt heard of before but may not be sure what it is exactly. This is a condition where your body fails to properly absorb the vitamins and minerals from the food we eat. Malabsorption can result in many serious conditions, even if the diet is sufficient and full of the nutrients you need. A person with Malabsorption Syndrome will still experience nutritional deficiencies. This extreme amount of nutritional deficiencies can lead to malfunctions with your digestive system, stomach and other vital organs, which can create a vicious circle of health problems.

Some of the symptoms related to Malabsorption include diarrhea, constipation, dry skin, fatigue, gas, depression muscle cramps, thinning hair, unexplained weight loss and visual difficulties just to name a few. It can be hard to diagnose this condition because as you can see many of the symptoms are similar to a large variety of other conditions and diseases. Another danger related to Malabsorption is that your body is trying to receive all the nutrients it needs because it will begin craving more and more food. This can cause obesity and the constant consumption of empty calories and fat that can further harm your health in other aspects.

Digestive disorders are the most common throughout America today and because of these digestive disorders many people are at a higher risk of experiencing Malabsorption Syndrome. The intestinal tract plays a role in nutrient uptake and any type of digestive problem will cause the food eaten to not be broken down properly and therefore it becomes impossible for your body to absorb the nutrients. On the other hand, digestive diseases are not the only reason for the cause of Malabsorption. You can have a perfectly functioning digestive system but have damage to your intestinal walls, Crohn’s Disease, colitis, diverticulitis and IBS to name a few. Each of these conditions makes it harder and harder for your body to absorb the proper nutrients. There are several natural supplements and herbs that can be included in your daily routine to help your body begin absorbing these nutrients and getting your health back on track.

  • Acidophilus, the "friendly" bacteria is essential for the body to uptake and create many nutrients. Be sure to use a formula that's nondairy.
  • Vitamin B complex is vital in restoring vitamin deficiencies. Those who are severely suffering from this condition should take it as an injection.
  • Calcium is necessary for the maintenance of  healthy bones. Take as directed.
  • Garlic aids in the digestion process and promotes the healing of the digestive tract to prevent further harm to your health. Use the brand Kyolic by Wakunaga of America.
  • Magnesium is important when it comes to producing the energy you need and can assist your body in the nutrient absorption process.
  • High potency multivitamin should be taken to restore any lost nutrients.
  • Herbs such as dandelion root, fennel seed, alfalfa and ginger contain minerals that can help absorb nutrients.
  • Consume complex carbohydrates such as oatmeal and well-cooked brown rice.
  • Consumption of large meals should be avoided as this taxes the digestive system. Small portions spread throughout the day is the better choice.

Malabsorption is becoming more and more common today because of the many digestive conditions due to our unhealthy lifestyles. Take advantage of these natural supplements and enjoy their risk free benefits.
