Mal absorption: With the minimal history of what we know, I think you may be having mal absorption, the most common form is lactose mal absorption, try this for 4- 6 wks, probiotic capsules 1-2/day and lactaid with every time you use dairy products. If it is because of mal absorption you will see an improvement.
