Answer

What is malabsorption?   show
🗑
show The difference between measured & calculated fecal osmolality.  
🗑
What is the osmolar gap value for osmotic diarrhea?   show
🗑
What is the osmolar gap value for secretory diarrhea?   show
🗑
show Brown, formed, unremarkable odor, cylindrical or tubular shape.  
🗑
show Post-hepatic obstruction OR barium
