At 16 mo I'd venture a guess that s/he isn't eating enough iron rich foods. 
Toddlers this age sometimes drink too much milk (mom's or otherwise) and 
don't eat much food.  Breast milk isn't designed to provide enough iron in 
the 2nd year of life.  S/He probably needs a supplement for a while and 
increased iron rich foods.  I don't think it has anything to  do with 
his/her intestines :-)  Just typical toddler stuff.  Drinking milk is 
quicker and easier than feeding yourself and then you can get down and play 
sooner LOL !  Pat in SNJ
