Hi,
It could be malabsorption. I suggest you have fecal samples for calprotectin, elastases and cultures for bacteria, and possibly a colonoscopy, especially if you are older than 40 years.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Anders Mark Christensen, General Surgeon
