Hi, I am the mother of a three year old that has had loose frequent bowels since birth. The doctor did a stool sample and called me yesterday and told me that it showed malabsorption so, she is sending him for lots of labs including a sweat test. She specifically said that the pancrease wasn't absorbing fat properly and that one of the leading causes is cystic fibrosis but, she wouldn't tell me much because, she said she didn't want to scare me until we know what it really is but, I was wondering if anyone else has ever went through this or if anyone knows some of the other causes.
Thanks!
