Stomach cramps and smelly farts with back pain, what could it be?

Specializes in Anesthesiology

Not absorbing fat: If you are eating very fatty foods and the fat isn't being absorbed, it results in fat being expelled in the stool. Back pain also can be caused by pancreatitis. Suggest you see a GI doc.
