Sorry, I made a mistake in my post above ... I mentioned I had experienced a weight loss similar to your husband's, but it was actually more like 30 pounds instead of 60. I agree with Shanyan, 60 lbs. is ALOT of weight - almost a third of his total body weight. I suppose any GI illness could do that if left untreated long enough, but I can see why you'd be doubtful h. pylori was all there was to your husband's story. If you can get a second opinion I'd recommend it. Otherwise, hopefully he'll be able to eat more now and start feeling better once he puts a few pounds back on.
He might be able to benefit by eating some healthy fats which might not make him feel so bad in moderate quantities. As we all know, fats are loaded with calories. Olive and canola oils are good, and perhaps certain kinds of nuts in small quantities. Avacados have healthy fat as well. Can he eat fish? - that's another good one. We need SOME fat in our diet and I think he might feel better, as well as put on a few pounds, if he could add at least a little bit more healthy fat to his diet.
I've been through a similar weight loss that was never adequately explained, and I know how hard it is to gain it back. As long as he's under a doctor's regular care, you should be reasonably assured that if anything major is going on or he declines some more that they'll take notice and get to the bottom of it.
Good luck.
I am currently on antibiotics for H-pylori, but I have never experienced any weight loss. I also do not have a problem eating fattening meals or sweets. I would say that maybe you should seek a second opion. 60 pounds is a huge amount of weight loss and it seems to me that the doctor should be a little more concerned. Good luck!
