Intestinal Gas Guide
Weight loss or diarrhea are symptoms that might happen because your digestion is impaired, a medical problem that is termed malabsorption. Malabsorption may cause either persistent diarrhea, weight loss, yellow and oily stools with an exaggerated foul odor, or a combination of these symptoms.
