Suggest Treatment For Loss Of Appetite And Weight Along With Abdominal Pain

Get tested for Celiac disease
Detailed Answer:
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern. You seem to be suffering from Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). This is a functional disorder only. Treatment is quite disappointing as it takes months to show it's effect. Now since you are having loose stools, and weight loss so an evaluation for Malabsorption Syndrome like Celiac disease is warranted. You should get a blood test known as Anti TTG Antibody test. If this is positive you are suffering from XXXXXXX disease which is basically Allergy to wheat products. In case the test is negative you would require Treatment for IBS that we will discuss once we have ruled out Celiac disease.
The test is not so costly. The most renowned laboratories in XXXXXXX perform it for around Rs.800
So get this test done from any renowned laboratory and write back to me with the report.
I hope it helps. If you have any further query, please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
