serious illness???

I am getting worried about my wife.  she has lost a lot of weight over the past year.   her bowel movements are perhaps once a week at most and lately, within minutes of eating, her stomach swells up.

I have also noticed that with just one glass of wine, she slurs her speech and generally, appears as if she has been drinking four or five!

I have been trying to get her to visit her GP but so far, she has not tried to make an appointment.

I have spoken to her about the drinking and she acknowledges the situation and says it's been through historic stress.

I am concerned with her lack of bowel movements, weight loss and how one drink affects her.

she will be 50 this year.
