my first question is that are u a frequent outside eater, meaning having hotel or canteen food, if so u have to be evaluated for H.pylori infection, dont worry it is a simple bacteria which causes overt gastritis to make it very easily understandable. second thing i wud like u to get evaluated with an ultrasound abdomen or even an upper GI endoscopy. weight loss is quite significant and wud suggest u that u see a doctor as soon as possible because general physical examination can rule out many things.

Hi,

Thank you for your query.

At your age and with your weight a number of things come to mind. Though it is good to lose weight but loosing 16 pounds in two weeks needs to be examined. I suggest you consult a doctor who shall take a detailed history of your dietary habits, examine you and get you investigated accordingly.

I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction. Please feel free to revert back in case you need some clarification or want to share more details.

Wishing you all the best.

Regards,

RKK
