Been having loose stools, getting worse, smell like sulfur, feel weak and tired all the time an in the past couple months have lost over 20 pounds....

Gastroenterologist: You need to be seen ASAP by a GI doctor. It sounds as if whatever is wrong with your GI tract has made you anemic and is now a systemic illness, You will probably require colonoscopy and this should be done soon. Best wishes. Please make appt now.
