Avatar n tn I have carbohydrate malabsorption (otherwise known as dissacharidase defficiency). Both are just fancy names for the fact that my body doesn't make enough enzymes to break down and properly absorb carbohydrates. Like ruffmagruff, i developed this out of the blue after having a bad stomach bug. took about 14 months of being pretty miserable before we figured out what what up. It was a total fluke: i wanted to lose about 10 lbs so i tried the south beach diet.
Avatar f tn Hi there, I am a 31 year old female recently diagnosed with Dissacharidase Deficiency, otherwise known as carbohydrate malabsorption. According to my gastro, a bad viral infection I acquired almost 18 months ago knocked out only my lactase enzymes, but also the enzymes neccessary to break down sugars, most carbs and all starches. I also became seriously sensitive to fructose, the sugar found in fruit.
Avatar n tn Have you been tested for fat malabsorption? That condition can also result in a foul-smelling stool.
Business woman1 But one has to rule out the other possibilities like IBS {irritable bowel syndrome, bacterial overgrowth of the small intestine, Crohn’s disease, Ulcerative Colitis, carbohydrate {sugar} malabsorption, hyperthyroidism, Addison’s disease or may be due to laxative abuse. Take adequate amount of fluids and oral rehydration solution to prevent dehydration. Maintain a good hygiene and drink clean preferably boiled water.

However, that would most likely would only be the situation if you have a long standing history since childhood of gi issues. People also can develop an oat allergy as an adult. https://www.healthline.com/health/oat-allergy As to your question if your usage of Doxycycline would result in a long standing post usage side effect, that is unlikely but not impossible.
Avatar f tn Yes I am. Ive just been upped to 2400 units a day. This is very frustrating. I also have malabsorption & iron dificiency but I don't know if any of it ties together as 1 problem. I wonder it they do. Thanks for the imput.
Avatar f tn Colitis or IBS can produce the symptoms you describe as can celiac disease. Other conditions such as a lactose deficiency, carbohydrate malabsorption, or fat malabsorption may be considered. These are conditions that your physician may have already considered. Have you been evaluated by a gastroenterologist? Your health care is dependant upon your parents or guardian. I am certain that they too are concerned. Please discuss your distress with them. They are your best advocates.
Avatar f tn I've had messy greasy stools for the last 2 to 3 years. I have to rinse a lot of time in shower to get clean because if I keep wiping I get sore . Never new what caused it but I linked it to fat malabsorption where I can't digest the fat from my food properly. But every time I go to doctors they keep saying it's my diet which I disagree a bit ,I don't smoke don't drink and eat pretty healthy fruit and veg .
Avatar m tn First off my BMI is currently around 16, yet I eat pretty normally (2000-3000kcal a day). So I think I have some kind of metabolism / malabsorption problem. I have always been underweight even reaching BMI of 14, but recently I got the chance to go to a doctor about this.
Avatar f tn parasites etc. my surgeon told me my problem was all the meds I was taking (it was enough to kill me) that my colon is healthy. Working with my other doctors I have reduced a number of the meds without harm. I am still on meds for Diabetes, for Hypertension, and for Low Thyroid. Generally, I am in good health, physically and mentally active. However, I still suffer the diarreahea that comes in fits after I eat a meal and often when I am out shopping, or walking for excercise.
Avatar f tn Over the past year I have lost a lot of weight and am experiencing many 'IBS-like' symptoms. This includes stomach aches, varying food transit times (often very fast), undigested food in stools, blood in stools and large amounts of mucus in stools. I have since been diagnosed with coeliac disease, pancreatic insufficiency and have been told that I have 'complex malabsorption problems' that the doctors can't seem to put a name on?
Avatar f tn Has anyone taken the Fat Malabsorption test, because they had long term diarrhea? I am on my 6th and final day of the test. It is a horrible test! I had to eat 100 grams of fat, 3 days before I began the stool collection, and 100 grams of fat the 3 days of the stool collection. Thank God today is my last day! I am so nauseous! I am never going to want to eat again. It is very hard to fit 100 grams of fat into your daily diet, when you don't have a decent appetite.
1396732 tn?1280415399 I have been reading about malabsorption and it kind of fits me. I am a Type II diabetic and my aunt died of pancreatic cancer 3 yrs. ago. Thank you for your help.
Avatar m tn hi. im currently having a case of malabsorption i guess. i can see some food particles in my stool. its been like this for about 3 months now and i lost significant weight maybe 20 lbs. my stool looks like pale yellow and watery. at first i was worried (until now im still worried) about HIV symptoms since i also have swollen lymph nodes, skin rashes and white tongue. i tested negative after 15 weeks of possible exposure so im thinking of other possibilities. i still feel weak.
Avatar n tn ve never engaged in sexual activity of any kind, heterosexual or otherwise. I am having a problem surface again after about 4-5 months in that I have mucus seeping from my anus. The first time I experienced it was after a strep throat infection, the mucus ranged from clear to brownish and had an oily consistency. It was also intensely itchy, and constant wiping probably exacerbated the problem. My stools were also often frequently covered in mucus and sometimes had some fresh red blood on them.
Avatar f tn I have been formally diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and possible Carbohydrate Intolerance. My issue is when I eat a load of carbs, it hits up to 3 days later and I can't hardly get out of bed and am weak most of the day. Everything I read about Carb Intolerance says that fatigue usually hits within the first few hours. Has anyone else experienced this? Carb crash, a day or days after the carbs are eaten?
Avatar m tn A loose stool or an unformed stool is not typically a sign of fat malabsorption. Besides a film on the surface of the water or 'globules,' some people experience an 'orange-colored' discharge. If you feel you're experiencing fat malabsorption, ask your doctor to check into the situation. The problem can result from a number of causes that can include gallbladder and pancreatic issues as well as in instances of celiac disease among other things.
Avatar f tn It will give you all the information you need to know about Peak 8 – Flood Your Body With This “Youth Hormone” In Just 20 Minutes What you eat after Peak 8 training does matter It’s recommended that you do not eat sugar or carbohydrate for 2 hours after the Peak 8 exercise because these foods can impact the release of the growth hormone in the body.

Avatar f tn Is he having other issues along with the odor problem? Or is this something that started before the gallbladder removal? In some cases, changes in bacterial count or type could cause an issue, and if that's what's happening the use of some probiotics might be helpful. Lactose could be an issue, and if he used lactose-free products it would be helpful. But if he has problems with diary that continue with the use of something like lactaid, it could be more than just a lactose issue.
Avatar f tn m not sure if I need to see an Allergist, ENT, Gastroenterologist, Internist or who because about an hour after eating a carbohydrate I seem to get inflammation and swelling on my right side only...starting in my right sinuses, behind right eye, right ear, right throat, right lymph gland in neck, and going in a straight line down the right side of my chest and down to my right kidney. If I only eat meat, salads, and non starchy vegetables, water and plain tea, I don't have any symptoms.

Help, my Physician is not sure what course of action to take with me........I am sure other patients have had this type of surgery (distal).
