Hello,

Loss of appetite and loss of weight then it demands the medical attention for the underlying cause, if you are not eating properly then you may lose the weight, stress could be the cause of not eating properly, or if you are not eating high-calorie diet then also it is likely to lose the weight. If it is the IBS being suspected, then chances of this are pretty likely, it is kind of functional disorders, besides the barium study. It is advisable to get done the x-ray of chest and routine blood workup, you have not mentioned the age and gender here, else something specific could have been discussed.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
