Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, it can be due to malabsorption caused by deficiencies of enzymes produced by the pancreas and may be due to pancreatic inflammation etc.
A gastroenterologist review is recommended to correlate clinically with patients well being and suitable measures can be sought.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
