Hello,
Though it can be possible by taking some medications, the common cause is malabsorption syndrome affecting small intestine.
Kindly get a stool microscopy report done with help of prescription from your doctor and consult with the report, please.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
