Rule out stress, tuberculosis. Has she taking food.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HCM
I have gone through your query.
The symptoms are very vague. As you have mentioned she has recently lost weight, I would like to know whether she is eating well or not. As you have done lot of investigation and they have not revealed anything, I would like to know, is she having any stress, which she might not be reveling.
Is her haemoglobin level within normal range and her blood sugar is normal?
Tuberculosis can cause weight loss, so I would suggest you for sputum for AFB.
Hope this helps.
I'll be glad to help you with your further queries.
Take care.

she was a bit stressed a while ago. was eating well and still losing weight but for the last month she has had a lot of nausiea so she only eats small amounts often. she still gets hungry as normal.
the doctor did a normal blood teat to teat her sugar and that was fine.
