Osmotic Diarrhea

It is characterized by increased non-absorbable components in the digestive tract due to inadequate absorption of nutrients present in the light intestinal. As a result, no liquids are absorbed and remain in the lumen. It is seen mainly in malabsorption syndromes, such as celiac disease or pancreatic disorders, in which the secretion of digestive enzymes is altered. Another possible cause is the use of osmotic laxatives (which act to relieve constipation by retaining water in the intestine).


In healthy individuals, too much magnesium or vitamin C or undigested lactose can produce osmotic diarrhea. A person with lactose intolerance can have digestive problems if you eat a high amount of dairy products, because unabsorbed lactose remains in the intestine. This results in increased fluid retention and gas production, causing diarrhea osmótica.7 Similar effects can be observed in people with fructose malabsorption. Sugar alcohols such as sorbitol (often present in sugar-free foods) are absorbed with difficulty and can cause diarrhea diarrhea osmótica.8 acid is also produced as a result a marked erythema perinatal.
