Bile acid malabsorption

Bile acid malabsorption, known also as Bile acid diarrhea, is a cause of chronic diarrhea. It has also been called Bile acid-induced diarrhea, Cholerheic or Choleretic enteropathy and Bile salt malabsorption. It can result from malabsorption secondary to gastro-intestinal disease, or be a primary disorder, associated with excessive bile acid production. Treatment with bile acid sequestrants is often effective.
