Mushy soft stool indicating malabsorption .what medicines i should take.what blood test i should do.now for almost 6 weeks?

Stool for fecal fat: Start a probiotic daily and stop all dairy products in your diet. If the problem persists then have your doctor take a stool sample for fecal fat. Unless you are having other symptoms then blood tests will not help much.
