Many diseases can cause malabsorption. Malabsorption is usually the inability to absorb certain sugars, fats, proteins, or vitamins from food. It can also involve a general malabsorption of food. Some of the causes of malabsorption include: 1  AIDS and HIV. 2  Biliary atresia. 3  Celiac disease. 4  Certain medications (cholestyramine, tetracycline, some antacids, some medications used to treat obesity, colchicine, acarbose, phenytoin).
The symptoms of celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) can be very similar to the symptoms of fructose malabsorption . Thus, the diagnosesâ may often be confused. Fructose malabsorption can also mimic lactose/milk intolerance- a common diagnosis amongst celiac and NCGS patients. Fructose malabsorption (FM) may also be seen with celiac disease or NCGS and should be considered in these patients who are already on a gluten free diet, yet have ongoing symptoms.
