Im still suggesting that he goes for stool sample testing, checking for yeast, parasites, and heavy metals.
Oh yeah bring in the pseudoscience. let's start with some homeopathic remedies that contain not a single molecule of active ingredient :banghead:
heman, you have shared some test results. What have the various doctors concluded from this and how did they suggest to treat the condition (in terms of medication and diet adaptation)? Specifically, has your brother tried an elimination diet, i.e cutting out gluten, lactose, FODMAP, etc? Also, is the low blood pressure a new symptom? If so, you/the doctor should do a blood test to find the cause and treat the symptom for now.

Antral gastritis is concerning. That's an autoimmune disorder (genetic).
Fat in his stool means there's a malabsorption issue. My thought process is fats -> Bile -> Gallbladder/Liver. Liver was normal on the studies, no mention of the gallbladder. Was there blood work done (CBC)? Chronically low blood pressure, i'd want to check a hormone panel. See his cortisol levels, adrenals, androgen, ACTH, T3/T4, TSH, anything that would contribute to blood pressure..

Fat in his stool means there's a malabsorption issue. Yes, intenstinal malabsorption as consistent with IBD and other non-liver/gallbladder-related conditions. Even the pancreas would be a better bet My thought process is fats -> Bile -> Gallbladder/Liver. Liver was normal on the studies, no mention of the gallbladder. Was there blood work done (CBC)?

Rather than band-aid with say thyroid medication, the underlying malnutrition should be the focus.
The OP has stated all traditional medical interventions has FAILED. So 11 is correct, giving homeopathic route a try. What should the patient do? Suffer and not give alternative medicine a go because YOU think it won't work.
It's not about what I THINK works you idiot. It is about what the scientific evidence says. We know both from theory and empirical evidence that homeopathy cannot work and does not work :banghead: Similarly absurd approaches from the area of alternative medicine likewise have 0 empirical or theoretical evidence to support their efficacy.
Even if we assume that traditional medicine has failed here (rather than the problem being incompetent doctors and/or treatment non-compliance), the answer is not to go to something that cannot work. Instead, re-diagnose, focus on treatment-compliance and try experimental medication like BPC157 (Which have at least some logic and scientific evidence behind them)
Yes, stick to that which at least has a chance of working.Right, i'm the idiot. Your solution is to re-diagnose and use BPC, sounds like a solid plan. Go with that.

I still believe that rather than to spend money on additional tests of questionable value that are hard to interpret, you should spend it on private consults.
I assume you're in the UK. There are specialist centers for gastroenterology where the doctors are experts in their field and which can give you the state of the art (non-standard) treatments. See for example: https://www.gastrolondon.co.uk/contact/#!/
