Hello,
Thank you for trusting HCM
Diarrhea, bloating along with significant weight loss could be due to Inflammatory bowel disease, malabsorption syndromes like gluten sensitivity, Whipple's disease etc.
Stool microscopy, culture, colonoscopy are warranted to make a definite diagnosis.
Please be advised to follow up with your primary care provider for further evaluation.
Hope this answers your question
