Another opinion might be a good idea, @mom123mcq if he is still suffering so much. An infectious disease doc might be a good choice as he had a tic bite. Also, a consult with an endocrinologist might be helpful.
At the very least, it would be good if he could be seen at a multidisciplinary medical center, like a university medical school or a Mayo facility. Does he live near either one?

Will let him know and probably do so

I recognize some of these symptoms from my experience with MALS- this means median actuate ligament syndrome. A ligament that is attached to the diaphragm presses on the celiac artery with eating. The artery is supposed to bring blood to intestines for digestion, but since it is compressed by the ligament not enough blood goes through and you get extreme stomach pain. Weight loss is common. I remember in the early days of this illness that I had very high heart rate at rest- nobody knew why.
Does your son have a gastroenterologist? Surgeon might know about it, but it is rare. We have a group here on Connect sharing experiences and information.
