Conditions associated with acquired carbohydrate malabsorption
| Condition | |
|---|---|
| Post-enteritis syndrome | Possible after any enteric infection |
| Rotavirus | |
| Giardia lamblia | |
| Salmonella species | |
| Campylobacter species | |
| Type IV hypersensitivity syndromes | This mechanism of epithelial damage underlies the post-enteritis syndrome, which may be complicated with protein sensitisation, i.e. CMSE |
| Coeliac disease | |
| Cow’s milk sensitive enteropathy (CMSE) | |
| Autoimmune enteropathy | |
| Graft versus host disease | |
| Host versus graft (small bowel allograft rejection) | |
| Primary carbohydrate maldigestion | Milder forms of single gene defects may be unrecognised even through to adult life (more common with sucrase isomaltase and lactose intolerance) |
| • Lactose intolerance (2 q21) | |
| • Glucose-galactose malabsorption (22 q13) | |
| • Sucrase-isomaltase deficiency (3q 25–26) |
