Hi,
thanks for writing in HCM.
The investigation of choice for your husband would be a double contrast Ct of the abdomen. This will help in picking up the exact lesion. In addition he needs to undergo a detailed evaluation of the liver function as well as pancreatic function. Pancreatic insufficiency can lead to loose motions.
