Colonoscopy: Did the endoscopy include both the upper and lower GI tracts? If not, this is recommended. Food allergies and intolerance is another cause, but the weight loss also increases the likelihood of infection. He should have a chest x ray, COVID 19 screening test and food allergy panel, IgE and CBC, diff and platelets as part of his workup. In the meantime, provide fluids, protein sources, a probiotic.
