in particular, I am suffering symptoms of
malabsorption of food. I have an urge to
defecate more frequenty than normal
(several times a day), and my stools are
large, soft, irregularly shaped and
contain undigested fragements of food.
Also, the color of my stools varies from
yellow, green, and brown. I did some
research and i'm fairly certain that this
is not diarrhea, but rather steatorrhea,
which is indicative of problems with my
liver or pancreas. I'm certain my
gastrointestinal problem is not diarrhea
because it is not watery. However, I
don't see any signs of jaundice or
yellowing of my skin or eyes..
Has anyone ever heard of such symptoms of
malabsorption being caused by mono? Or
is this more indicative of hepatitis b or
c ?

I have a really weird rash all over my
body. I took a blood test last week and
it came back positive for mono but I think
this rash isnt normal, has anyone else had
one and if so do you recommend anything
for it?

The gi symptoms aren't typically mono
symptoms - however I have found some
studies that indicate gi tract problems
resulting from mono. I have had gi
problems and mono now for a few months,
but I definitely got checked for other
things that might be causing gi problems
and all they found was mono. But
definitely talk to your doctor. And let
us know how it turns out.

Well I turns out I don't have mono but
rather hepatitis b virus. I got my blood
test results back and they indicate
positive for hepatitis b virus surface
antigen. I think the gastro problems
were the indicator that it is not mono but
something else. My doc says my glands
were not swollen enough to indicate mono.
I don't have fever anymore, only the
stomach problems and slight weakness /
sick feeling.
