Enteropathy refers to any pathology of the intestine.

Specific types of enteropathy include:

• Gluten-sensitive enteropathy (also known as celiac disease)
• Protein-losing enteropathy
• Porcine proliferative enteropathy (PPE)
• Radiation enteropathy
• Enteropathy associated T-cell lymphoma
• Immunodysregulation polyendocrinopathy and enteropathy, X-linked (see FOXP3)

If the condition also involves the stomach, it is known as "gastroenteropathy".

Although enteritis specifically refers to an inflammation of the intestine, and is thus a more specific term than "enteropathy", the two phrases are sometimes used interchangeably.
