Hi,
Thanks for the additional information.
The information you have given points towards irritable bowel syndrome only except for the weight loss.
The following tests may be done.
Complete blood count, blood glucose, stool analysis, thyroid function test, upper GI endoscopy with small bowel biopsy and a colonoscopy.
Meanwhile you can take the following for relief- tablet Librax and tablet Rifaximin.
You discuss with your doctor before taking these medications.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.
