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

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.
