👉 Epitheliolysis is a condition characterized by an abnormal breakdown or loss of epithelial cells, which are found in the lining of the gut and can cause inflammation, pain, and other symptoms. The exact mechanism behind this condition is not fully understood, but it's thought to involve a process called "epithelial cell death" that occurs when normal epithelial cells die or fail to differentiate properly. This can lead to an accumulation of dead cells in various organs, including the digestive system.
