HI
Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic.
Weight loss with bad stomach in a elderly patient has to be taken seriously as the possibility of Stomach Cancer is high at this age .
First wait till you get Liver function test reports , if it's normal then you have to take him to hospital and get Upper gastrointestinal Endoscopy done to see for any Stomach Cancer or other problem .
Kindly don't neglect .
Hope this information is useful for you .
Any clarifications or Queries feel free to ask.
Happy to help you.
Regards.
