A member asked:
My stool is yellow could that mean that bile is not being reabsorbed in the small intestine? i have issues like low vit d severe hair loss, brittle nails, bad skin, joint pains blurred vision. can l have malabsorption problem without weight loss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most people have low vitamin d because they work indoors and don’t supplement, so that is not proof of malabsorption. You need to consult with a doctor on the ground who can perform an in-depth work up for your many symptoms. Stool studies can be performed to rule out malabsorption.
