weight loss

my daughter has a Duodopa pump which is working well helping her live a reasonably normal life. Dx nearly 15 years she is 51 but has lost a great deal of weight recently. She does not have tremor but quite a bit of dyskinesia. Been referred for gastrointestinal and blood tests. Anyone have any suggestions?
