unexplained malabsorption

unexplained malabsorption

I have been unwel for many years, finally diagnosed with a unexplained malabsorption syndrome,which causes malnutrition,which  in turn is causing secondary hyperparathyroidism, pth levels decrease when I take 3000mgs of calcium carbonate,and 3000mgs of vitamin d ,but it does not resolve the malabsorption .I have had virtually every test  there is,only a 72 hour stool fat test,showed  elevated  stool fat levels at (11) and (14),no celiac,pancreatic enzymes no help,gallbladder removed,pill-cam,ct- scan,colonoscopies,small bowel biopsies,double balloon enteroscopy,all normal ,also no parasites ever found, do you have any suggestions, regards

hello, I am not anemic,although  my hemoglobin was  on the lower  end once or twice,I take  mega doses of calcium 3000mgs of each, I have tried gluten free, but there was no change,all biopsies were always normal,my doctors are stumped, it took years to confirm a diagnosis,now ,they do not know why it is happening, regards, if you have any other questions,fell free to ask any time,I did try pancreatic enzymes on two or three occasions , but they  did not offer any help
