See Dr.to find cause: Several things can cause this. The main ones are inadequate intake of calories, need for hydrochloric acid and/or digestive enzymes, malabsorption, inflammation of the intestines (possibly from intestinal parasites), celiac disease and other food allergies, vitamin/mineral/amino acid deficiencies and hyperthyroidism. A good GI doc or holistic/integrative doc can help you find what the problem is.
