“How are issues with the small intestine treated?”

Depending on what type of issues with your small intestine are the treatment of it. The gastrointestinal organ presents with multiple etiologies that based on the etiological presentation are the treatment approach of it. For example, bleeding, Celiac Disease, Crohn’s Disease, infections, intestinal cancer, irritable bowel syndrome, peptic ulcers, etc. Most commonly the symptoms are bloating, diarrhea, extreme tiredness, malabsorption, poor appetite, weakness, weight loss, among others. I recommend for you to consult with your health care provider to be treated accordingly. Thank you.

Depends on what is going on. Medicines, diet and/or surgery may be needed.
