Digestive system complications
the digestive system as well. The disease affects nearly all of the body’s organs. When excessive mucus obstructs the digestive tract’s passages, complications begin to arise. Significant complications of the digestive system include the following:
Vitamin and mineral deficiencies
The viscous mucus obstructs the tubes that transport pancreatic digestive enzymes to the intestine. Due to the enzyme deficiency, the body cannot assimilate nutrients from food, including protein, fats, vitamins, and minerals. When not enough nutrients reach the body, poor individuals experience stunted growth. A infant is susceptible to malnutrition. Several symptoms, including weight loss and inflammation of the pancreas, are associated with nutritional deficiency. Even if the individual consumes enough food, his body does not absorb enough nutrients, resulting in inadequate development and growth.
