Q: Malabsorption... How to Treat This?

i know someone, who i believe has malabsorption. she told me that she found out her body doesn't absorb protein/vitamins properly. she eats eggs, beans etc all the time and her system washes it out. she's tried taking vitamins, but it makes her body go crazy. if i remember right, it said it causes her to have convulsions. and her body is extremely sensitive to medicines or any other kind of pill. she has bad symptoms and does't eat meat for moral reasons even though it causes her to have convulsions or something along those lines. is there anything that could make a good change in her symptoms/how she feels?

Malabsorption with Gastric By-Pass

I had rou en y gastric pass 14 years ago, I have chronic malabsorption, no supplements have helped and I'm on B-12 injections from my doc 3 times a month, I have a very small stomach capitscy I can't eat meals so I have to snack 6-8 times a day. My greatest problen is getting enough protein. My anemia has me so fatigued that I FIND ALL ACTIVIES EXHAUSTING. My hemaglobin sits right about 8 normal is 12 and up does anyone have any suggestions for me that could help me booster my protein intake while only being able to tolerate a few bites? I look like a human skeleton and I don't want things to go from bad to worse. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated
