Any disease or disorder affecting the intestines, from inflammation to infection to structural problems.
From Greek 'enteron' (intestine) + 'pathos' (disease or suffering). This is a general medical term combining the two roots to describe the entire category of intestinal diseases.
Enteropathy is the umbrella term for intestinal diseases—from celiac disease to Crohn's disease to tropical infections—meaning doctors can describe dozens of different gut problems with one word that basically means 'the intestines are suffering.'
