Brief Answer:
Chronic malabsorption ?
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXX
I understand your query and concern.
In view of long lasting symptoms of diarrhoea and loss of appetite, its extremely important that a mucosal malabsorption is ruled out.
For this I advise you to have a fecal fat analysis along with an ultrasound abdomen as the initial study to document your pathology. If you already done ultrasound scan then please upload.
Thank you.
