Stomach problems

My son (25 yrs old) has a loss of appetite, nausea, AFTER eating and some pain.  He went for a blood test and they found that he has Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid).  This might be a direction you might want to look into.  Next is a Gastrointestinal doctor. He has lost 20lbs so far so he is drinking Ensure. So far, that is the only thing that doesn't hurt his stomach.  He is also eating very soft food, like apple sauce and broth, just to keep something in his belly. Does anyone have any suggestions? We are trying to figure out what to do next because the doctors take so long in setting appointments.

    Look into leaky gut. Or maybe parasites. Also get a HIDA scan to see how well his gallbladder is functioning. I had all of theses symptoms and had all three of what I mentioned. I’m 26 and lost 30 lbs in 4 months. I also was drinking ensure.
