Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Having a lower than normal level of ALP can be related to many medical conditions.
The most common cause can be celiac disease which can also explain the loss of weight.
I would recommend the following examinations :
-A serology testing looking for antibodies in your blood to exclude celiace disease.
-Liver enzymes to check for liver function
-Creatinine and blood urea level to check for kidney function
-Vitamin D level
After the examinations you can contact me again for further evaluation.
Meanwhile, I recommend using anti inflammatory medication such as Naproxen 500 mg three times a day.
I also recommend to use a multivitamin supplement.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
