Malabsorption: There are many causes of malabsorption: http://medical-dictionary.Thefreedictionary.Com/malabsorption+syndrome. One cause is a post-partum syndrome called sheehan's syndrome, which is a shutdown of the master gland - the pituitary gland. If your colon study is negative, your doctors might want to possibly investigate the pituitary axis for possible malfunction.
