Purpose Of Review:
Non-celiac enteropathies (NCE) can be due to a variety of causes. The workup for NCE includes history, physical, laboratory and histology review and can be difficult. Enteropathies can result in serious illness due to consequences of malabsorption including severe weight loss, nutritional deficiencies, and debilitating diarrhea. Recognition and support of these consequences while investigating underlying etiology is essential.
Recent Findings:
Recent studies in NCEs have focused on improving diagnostic accuracy and predicting long-term outcomes in patients with NCEs. Further, literature has emphasized the importance of histological analysis, with a focus on differentiating between various enteropathies that cause villous atrophy, highlighting the complexity and need for personalized approaches in managing these conditions. Identification of etiologies of NCEs requires review of patients' detailed history, medications, and lab results. Common etiologies include immunodeficiencies, infectious, iatrogenic, and malignant causes. Using a systematic approach can lead to proper diagnosis and tailor treatment choices, benefiting patient outcomes. Supportive nutrition care should be initiated early when applicable to minimize morbidity.

Facilitated diffusion-glucose transporters (GLUTs) are encoded by the solute-linked carrier (SLC) family 2, subfamily A gene family, or SLC2A. The 14 GLUT protein members are distributed into three classes:
Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
