Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
his symptoms are nonspecific and it can indicate various gastrointestinal disorders including cancers so it would be wise to do more detailed gastroenetrologic work up including endoscopic procedures to rule out cancers. however,most commonly these symptoms suggest just gastritis or IBD but as I siad more serious diagnoses should be excluded.
WIsh you good health. Regards
