Inflammation of the digestive tract is common to most irritable bowel diseases including Crohn’s Disease, IBD Syndrome, and Celiac’s Disease. While each of these diseases causes inflammation by a different mechanism, they all result in decreased capacity to absorb nutrients and minerals. In extreme cases, this can lead to severe diarrhea, malnutrition, osteoporosis (weakening of the bones), and iron deficiency, to name a few.
Based on the information above, which region(s) and structure(s) of the alimentary canal is (are) most likely targets of inflammation? Explain your answer based on the roles of each segment of the alimentary canal.
