Whats The Cause For Stomach Pain With Nausea & Tastelessness In Elderly Males?
My 80 yr old father has been having trouble with: no taste, growling of stomach, nausea when eating just a little bit, some pain, vomiting, has to take laxative to go. has been going to several doctors, no one seems to know what is wrong. has had a colonscopy, blood work, gastro eval and keeps loosing weight. does he need a geriatric specialist. he lives in south texas
No, he does not need to see a geriatric specialist. Have u consulted a gastroenterologist if not then consult a good gastroenterologist in your city. I think he will be able to know the correct stomach problem of your father.
Hopefully u satisfied by my advise.
