My Mum (84) can't keep food down. Any advice?

Sometimes she gets stomach cramps she has lost 5 kilos in a few weeks.

Smiley, where are you getting your information? - about your mother's weight loss, the problem with the nurses, and so on? I'm just wondering how reliable the source is. Are you in direct contact with her doctor?

Blood tests are not going to tell you much about stomach cramps. She should be taken in to see the doctor. Can you make that happen? Can you call her doctor and explain what's going on? Are there neighbors you're in touch with?

She lives in Holland and we are in NZ quite frustrating. The doctor did blood tests and they all came back fine. The doctor changed the diabetic medication which helped but now getting worse again and can't keep food down and only a little soup or half a cup of tea. Can't seem to get any nurses visiting her home very strange and so worried.

What does her doctor say? This is definitely something that needs medical attention.
