Unfortunately, because the symptoms you describe is so limited; it's very hard to pinpoint the disease or condition.How old is your step dad? If he's experiencing chest congestion or rattling. That sounds like Pneumonia. Does he have a fever? Now, with vomiting and diarrhea; weight loss, and stomach pains and distention. Those symptoms might attribute to Crohn's Disease or Diverticulitis, IBS (Irrritable Bowel Syndrome) and /or peptic ulcer. or the stomach flu, or the Celiac disease. Sometimes, it might be the dreaded colon cancer.

The commonest cause of this distended abdomen is probably just some temporary digestive disturbance such as ulcers, gastritis and esophagitis. This is easily treated but if it鈥檚 discovered in time.

There are many complications and because of that-you don鈥檛 have much time to loose.

You should strongly urge him to reconsider seeing a doctor before he becomes totally dehydrated. He might order an endoscopy; upper GI series, Barium enema or colonoscopy to pinpt the real problem.

It is a but an unpleasant examination but it is worthwhile and it can save his life. He should see a specialized doctor ASAP. His condition could be serious! Sounds like milk allergy ??? Try cutting all dairy, ie.: milk and milk products, yoghurt, cheese, butter, icecream, chocolate, candies (contain lactose)................. Increase consumption of raw fruit, green leafy vegies and all vegetables both cooked not more than 2.5 minutes.
