question: Hi, I am 32 years old female, have been losing weight over the past month, with  a three pound loss over the past 5 days.  I always feel hungry, same feeling as when I was diagnosed with h. Pylori about 3 years ago, which was since treated.  I  also have been having excessive gas, and my stomach rumbles continuously, even though I am eating normally.  I do have IBS.  Upon palpating my epigastric to mid gastric region is very tender at times.  The weight loss is what worries me as to stomach cancer, however with the excess gas, I am wondering more about malabsorption syndrome.  I would really appreciate your opinion, I am very worried.  Thank you
