It depends on what percentage of nutrients they are not absorbing. Also IV nutrients can be given to help and supplements if it's not too bad. There is not enough information here to give you a better answer I'm sorry. You should talk to their doctor.

Some people just have a very high metabolism, especially in their teens. Unless you doctor has said you have a problem don't worry. Just eat healthy foods and take vitamins. There are also suppliment shakes you can drink like Ensure or powdered protein. Your fine this is not an uncommon problem for teens.
