Health-related conditions that affect the digestive system can cause problems for the rest of the body. Match each of the possible outcomes with the condition that is most likely to be the cause of the outcome. Health-related outcomes: ∙ Poor fat digestion ∙ Overgrowth of harmful bacteria in the stomach tract ∙ Inability to store many nutrients ∙ Frequent choking on food Likely causes: ∙ lack of hydrochloric acid production ∙ excess urine formation ∙ gallstone formation ∙ liver cancer ∙ loss of teeth ∙ lung congestion
