Can breastfeeding mask malabsorption issues. my seventeen month old child's poop has lots of undigested food in it also hasn't gained weight in months?

Can't tell for sure: but this is a serious issue which should be evaluated by your pediatrician because malnutrition may permanently impact your child's life. It does sound like that he has a digestive disorder.
