Intestinal failure happens when your body can no longer absorb the water, nutrients and electrolytes it needs. While it’s not considered an inflammatory bowel disease, it can be caused by gastrointestinal conditions like Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, short-bowel syndrome and intestinal dysmotility. Many people who have intestinal failure have a condition called enterocutaneous fistula as their main reason for treatment.
