Specializes in Holistic Medicine

Need to see a doctor: Several things can cause this. The main ones are inadequate intake of calories, need for hydrochloric acid ;/or digestive enzymes, malabsorption, inflammation of the intestines (possibly from intestinal parasites), celiac disease ; other food allergies, vitamin/mineral/amino acid deficiencies ; hyperthyroidism. A good GI doc or holistic doc can help you find what the problem(s) is/are.
