Multiple; more info: You don't tell me what your malabsorption is due to. Depending on the cause, there are various treatments. Also, various nutrients may or may not be absorbed. In short, discuss the issue with your gastroenterologist and if you are not satisfied, you may want to go a university-affilated clinic.
