Malabsorption

Malabsorption means food is eaten but not taken into the body — bulky stools, wind, and a child who stays thin.

Cow’s milk protein issues, celiac disease, post-infection gut damage and enzyme problems can all look similar. We do not start five elimination diets on day one.

Understand

What we explain in clinic

Eats well, stays thin

Clue

A big appetite with a flat weight curve is the classic hint.

Stools

Look

Pale, oily, smelly or very bulky stools that float.

Vitamins

Quiet

Iron, vitamin D and energy stores drop before the parent sees ‘illness’.

After a bug

Timing

A gut infection can leave the lining weak for weeks.

Evaluation

What we look for

Diet diary

First

What was stopped already, and did anything actually help?

Growth + labs

Map

We plot and then choose stool fat, celiac serology or other tests.

One change

Trial

A single planned trial is kinder than an empty plate.

School tiffin

Life

The plan has to survive a real tiffin box, not only a clinic menu.

At Grace Clinic

How care is planned

01

Listen first

We take a full history — onset, feeding, fever, sleep, school and any earlier reports.

02

Examine & chart

Growth, chest, tummy, skin and development are checked. Tests are advised only if they change care.

03

Treat & follow

A clear home plan is given, with a review so we know the child is settling.

When to book

Book if the child is not gaining, stools are oily, or a diet restriction has gone on for months without a diagnosis.
