How is significant weight loss associated w/abdominal pain?

⮚ Without pain ? think of cancer. ⮚ With pain (postprandial pain, 1-2 hours after eating) ? think of: - Stone (usually 1 hour postprandial), - Hepatic insufficiency, - Pancreatic insufficiency (in the absence of exocrine secretions), - Mesenteric vascular insufficiency, mainly in elderly (in the presence of vascular stenosis, when the chyme reaches the intestine in order to be digested, the pain crisis begins and lasts 1-2 hours until the end of digestion; in some cases, diarrhea can occur due to the maldigestion of food).
