A member asked:

Is it considered malabsorption if i have a loose bowel movement 2 - 3 hours usually after eating alot of vegetables. steamed and raw vegetables.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible IBS: You could have IBS, aka Irritable Bowel Syndrome. You could have malabsorption issues. A possible food allergy may cause these symptoms. Many people suffer for bean/legume allergies or sensitivities. See you doctor for food allergy testing discussion.
