Is zinc deficiency in 3 year old boy cause diarrhea or malabsorption....????
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: Zinc deficiency can cause eczema type rash and diarrhea as well as loss of taste. Unfortunately, diarrhea may cause malabsorption of zinc among other important nutrient. Diets rich in zinc include beef, seafood, yogurt and eggs and nuts, so vegan diets are especially at risk.
