Doctor can evaluate: "skin flaking off" can be from sunburn, seborrhea, allergic reactions, irritant effects of skin creams, resolving skin inflammation, etc... Feelings of food "not digesting right" can be from slow gastric emptying, acid reflux disease, viral or bacterial infections, gall bladder disease or gallstones, cancer in the disgestive tract, pancreatitis, etc... A primary care doctor can evaluate and help.

Skin flaking: You need to see a family physician and get a physical examination to determine what if anything is going on.
