What Causes Loss Of Appetite Followed By Loss Of Weight?

My 59 year old husband is suffering from loss of appetite, inability to keep food down and resulting loss of weight. When he eats his head fills up and his nose starts running. He s had upper & lower GIs, blood tests and all results came back good. We don t know where to go next.
