A member asked:
Can a malabsorption problem cause muscle twitching ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: Nutritional deficiency can highly impact your muscle mass and strength. Twitching however may be caused by electrolyte imbalance. Thus it all depends on what kind of malabsorption you are concerned with. On the other hand, a drug reaction (bronchodilator for asthma) ,too much caffeine, or a neurologic disorder may cause twitching as well.
