dear user
i had examined alot of patients in my clinic that have the same problem of maldigestion and i require investigations to detect the cause to begin treatment as CBC and stool analysis and widal test but i found the most common cause of that is stress and anxiety and psychological problems
i begin treatment of them with digestive enzymes enhancing drugs but i found that the main treatment is the avoiding of stress and anxiety i advice my patients to take holiday and have some fun playing,swimming ,relaxing and i found that helpful
few cases we find pathological cause and some times we found anemia causing anorexia and loss of appetite
hope that helps you

you can start using probiotic tablets or liquids
now a days even yoghurt has added probiotics in it
tab lactobacillus three times a day for 10 days can solve the issue
also check with your doctor about use of digestive enzymes, some times they can do harm rather than being useful
don’t hesitate to get back with your follow up question
