The most frequent cause of maldigestion is pancreatic insufficiency caused by chronic pancreatitis. Those with suspected maldigestion should be asked about alcohol abuse, the most common cause of chronic pancreatitis in the United States.
For instance, patients with pancreatic insufficiency do not have enough pancreatic enzymes to break down LCTs. In children with cystic fibrosis, thick mucus blocks the enzymes that assist in digestion.
This condition is known as pancreatic insufficiency. Infants with pancreatic insufficiency have trouble digesting food and absorbing nutrients that are needed for growth.
Most times, digestive enzyme problems are caused by pancreatic insufficiency, which means, the pancreas doesn't make digestive enzymes, or they get blocked on their way to the stomach.
Shwachman-Diamond syndrome - a rare genetic disorder characterized by pancreatic insufficiency (digestive enzymes are not produced) and low white blood cell count. It also may affect bone growth, lung function and other body systems.
The disorder is typically characterized by signs of insufficient absorption (malabsorption) of fats and other nutrients due to abnormal development of the pancreas (pancreatic insufficiency) and improper functioning of the bone marrow (bone marrow ...

They also have abnormal secretions of sweat and saliva. The pancreas may release enzymes improperly, a condition called pancreatic insufficiency. The lungs have changes similar to those in emphysema.
