Joe check out the thread by anna50. Your story sounds alot like hers and you very well may have malabsorption. You probably should seek out a good gastroenterologist and get worked up for your weight loss and pale stools. Most likely it's nothing too serious but I definitely think you need some medical attention, at least a consultation.

Let us know what you learn. I too have lost alot of weight. Now 5 7" 108 . Always healthy diet and lifestyle and have posted alot here to learn more.
I tried Nexium for 6 weeks and no help with weight gain or heartburn and indigestion is still chronic after 10 months even if tests showed no ulcer , gallbladder problems.
Still on DGL for almost 9 weeks and they want another c/t.
My stool is as you described but it came back critter free.........Then told Nud, Gerd
