| Tropical Sprue | Infectious agent from Tropical environments in the small intestines that causes loss of mucosal cells, pain, diarrhea, fever, loss of villi, and malnutrition |
| Glutens Sprue | intestinal disease that is characterized by insensitivity to Glutens in wheat products that results in irritation and loss of villi on intestinal wall. |
| Steattorhea | Excess fat in stool |
| Hirschsprung’s Disease | Chronic constipation, megacolon due to absence of myenteric plexus of large bowel |
| Crohn’s Disease | Inflammation d/t bacteria/virus that causes lesions to appear cause pain, diarrhea, sloughing off of microvilli, water loss, fever. Found in ileum and colon. |

| Sjogren’s Syndrome | Autoimmune disease where body builds up antibodies against its own salivary tissue |
| Constipation | Inability to pass fecal material, defecate |
| Cholera | Bacterial infection of intestinal cells, produces toxin causing increased activity of cells and eventually watery diarrhea |

| Hiatal Hernia | ABD contents pushing thru opening in diaphragm where esophagus passes |
| Diverticula | Weaking of intestinal wall, it “pushes” out and forms a pocket |
