A young girl comes to my clinic on a regular basis and her husband suffers from this very rare and debilitating disease. I know nothing at all about it but it puts him in hospital often. This disease is characterised by an inability to absorb protein, it is not hereditary and doctors struggle to treat it. Has anyone heard about it or know someone that has the disease? It is called Intestinal Lymphangiectasia, and it attacks the body breaking down the intestinal organs protein, this is how it was diagnosed.
