STEATORRHEA


The presence of undigested fat in the feces. This may be the
result of failing to inoculate fatty foods with enough surfactant (biliary “soap”) to digest
them, the failure of the lower small intestine to absorb them, or simply too much fat for
even normal digestion to handle. Sometimes this can indicate liver, gall bladder or lipid
metabolism diseases. Usually the causes are subclinical and treatable with less invasive
approaches...like herbs.
