  1. Hi,

    This is my first time posting to this group.

    I would like to get some advice on where/who I can get testing done for malabsorption.

    Here are some indications I believe is malabsorption: loose stool w/ food particles unbroken
    bloating, intestinal gas, flatulence (when eating legumes) dry/chapped skin and scalp wounds heal
    take longer than usual

    I have been having these symptoms for more than a year. My diet and lifestyle is almost vegeterian
    with occassional fish. I am trying different digestive enzyme (currently using Udo's enzyme) to see
    what works and what doesn't.

    I would like to know what alternative help I can seek to relieve my problems.

    What problems are you having? Funny looking stools are not a problem.

    Are you anemic? Are your blood chemistries off? Have you had them checked?

    If they are normal, then you are worrying about nothing.

    Those last two symptoms make me ask if you've had your blood glucose checked lately.
