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.
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.

High amounts of carbohydrate foods at one meal tend to get people tried due to the increase/drop of the sugar levels in the blood. Maybe look at periods of stress in your job due to certain timetables, such as an accountant very busy at the beginning of a year due to income tax time, etc. Our bodies get fatigued from high amounts of stress.
Avatar f tn The stool is often very pale with some brown in it (sorry to be gross) and almost yellow looking (though not enough color to really count as "yellow"). Other times it will appear extremely pale because there is a ton of mucus in thee. It's soft stool and urgent like diarrhea but I've never had any accidents and usually when I have to "go" it's a smaller amount than the size of a golf ball. I have had no other symptoms besides this. No stomach pain. No itchiness.
Avatar m tn although I still eat soybean oil, since it has only trace amounts of the actual protein. Prior to malabsorption I was taking digestive enzymes and Betaine Hydrochloride, but stopped thinking they were the cause; (I recently started taking the enzymes again). I have been having digestive issues for at least a year now, following a bout of stomach flu, followiong that I started taking Zantac (which I believe gave me food allergies).
Avatar f tn You're in the most likely place in the country for Lyme Disease. Do you remember a tick bite or a red rash or a flu like illness before these symptoms started? Usually Lyme in New England involves sore joints and muscles, but not always. I wouldn't have thought of it for you except for the shoulder spasms. My Lyme includes lots of GI issues, incl.

If I eat anything oily or greasy like fries, or even a ceasar salad and a small 1/2 sandwich, I'm in the bathroom sometimes within 5 minutes of beginning to eat.
Avatar m tn Hello, I wanted to know if anyone has a good knowledge of malabsorption disorders. I have had bowel problems and chronic flatulence for nearly seven years now, but i stopped eating fatty foods recently and saw a massive reduction in my symptoms. I think this is beacause it's malabsorption. I also had a blood test done recently that showed low floate levels, low calcium and low albumin.
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 m tn What can it be have you heard of anything similar? When it strikes, I even poop a little in my pants while I am sleeping? Very embarassing?
Avatar f tn It is important that you continue to pursue this problem with a GI specialist and your pediatrician and allergist. I am not able to diagnose clinical problems such as this, but I can share with you some information that you may want to take into consideration.

Avatar m tn at least once a year, where I am in terrible pain and end up in the hospital. They tell me that I have sluggish bile. My GI doctor last told me that it is my genetic make up and there is really nothing that can be done about it. I am so frustrated and tired of dealing with this. It is incredibly debilitating when the pain starts and I just want someone to fix me! Is there anyone else out there that is experiencing this. I really do feel alone!
