HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Unintentional weight loss is always assessed. If the initial blood tests do not reveal any problems then she may need additional tests to determine the cause.
Imaging of the gastrointestinal tract with endoscopy may also be needed to check the stomach problems.
I hope this helps
