Hello,
As per my surgical experience, the inability to digest protein, fat and carbohydrate mandate ruling out underlying malabsorption syndrome most likely sir.
An initial evaluation with colonoscopy is mandatory here to proceed for the definite therapy.
Till that time, you can opt for nutritional supplements, digestive enzymes on empiric basis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
