Which specific nutrients or vitamins would a person most likely be deficient in, if they had malabsorption issues?

A person with malabsorption could be deficient in multiple nutrients. The more critical one being, Vitamin B12, vitamin A, and iron. It would be prudent to consult a GI specialist for initial evaluation and continuing care. Visit this site for info: https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/000299.htm
