HELP! My Grandma Has A Serious Stomach Problem...

I tried doing a Google search for the symptoms, and only found ridiculous weight-loss tips!
She has had off-and-on diarrhea, noticed a while ago she has a hard/firm bulge on the right side of her abdomen/stomach area, and she has had dramatic weight loss over the past several months. She has always had a small appetite, and doesn't eat much, and has lost a ton of weight even though she loves sweets and heavy foods.
She has talked to her Dr. about it but for some reason he put her on anti-biotics and has not done any kind of test to find out what is wrong. Does anyone have any ideas???

I think your granma should go to see another Doctor to have another evaluation, maybe have the bulge' checked out .perhaps you could go with her and speak for her .

She said he didn't know what it was but for some reason did no tests. I guess she is going to tell him she wants to see a specialist.

Have you asked your grandmother what the doctor suspects is wrong and why he put her on the antibiotics?
