efeect of blocked pancreatic duct on the ileum after taking a meal

Asked by marygracerijon789

Answer (2)

When the pancreatic duct is blocked, pancreatic enzymes cannot reach the small intestine (including the ileum) after a meal. This leads to poor digestion of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates because these enzymes are essential for breaking down food. As a result, the ileum receives partially digested or undigested food, causing malabsorption, diarrhea, and nutrient deficiencies.
