Hi,

Sudden gastro paresis plus IBS suggest some sort of mass in the gastrointestinal tract. as per recent weight loss which is 40 pounds, it suggests malabsorption of food or maybe neoplastic conditions underlying. so as per age and IBS, it's better to have a check-up for neoplastic condition and have a diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nirav Nimavat, General & Family Physician
