re message 54411 and Edema & Malabsorption

[Guest guest]

Hi group, I have read this message by Karyn about malabsorption and

edema & although it is very interesting & informative, I still have a

question. I have had swelling in my ankles and legs more in the form

of indentations that stay in, and of course I mentioned to my

Internist. Should I be concerned? I see that you do not take

diuretics, thank God, one in the family is enough....(my husband is a

heart patient) but I have not mentioned it to my G.I. and I suppose I

should. I take quite a few amino acids, like methione, and mucho b-

complex......what else can anyone tell me about this? In other

words, should I be concerned? The symptoms do not sound good!

Thanking in advance..
