How to improve absorption in body - #10199

Nancy, your symptoms — gas, bloating, constipation, poor appetite, skin issues (eczema, pigmentation), dark circles, lethargy, and low mood — strongly suggest a malabsorption syndrome possibly linked to gut-related conditions like celiac disease, SIBO, or IBS. Nutritional deficiencies may be affecting both your skin and mental health. Please consult a gastroenterologist for detailed tests (like stool analysis, vitamin/mineral levels, endoscopy if needed), and consider evaluation by a clinical nutritionist and psychologist for holistic care.

Hello dear Please be aware See as per clinical history it seems either any syndrome along with malabsorption I suggest you to please get b 12 and git tests done for confirmation of diagnosis and best treatment Please share the details with general physician or dermatologist Regards
