Malabsorption treatment in Celaya

Malabsorption is the intestine's difficulty in properly absorbing nutrients from food, such as fats, vitamins, minerals, or sugars, which can lead to nutritional deficiencies even when the diet is adequate.

Common symptoms: diarrhea, greasy foul-smelling stools, weight loss, abdominal bloating, and signs of nutritional deficiencies.

Common causes: it may be due to intestinal diseases, intolerances, problems of the pancreas or the bile ducts, among others.

Which specialist treats it? the gastroenterologist investigates the origin of the digestive problem and the dietitian helps assess the nutritional status, with the general practitioner as the first point of contact. If you have these symptoms persistently, it is worth bringing them up at a visit to guide the workup.
