Help/ my cat is not eating

Hello! Im new to reddit so apologies in advance if I have written out anything wrong and for the long post but Im getting desperate for answers . My friend told me about this subreddit in hopes to find answers/advice regarding my cat Double.

Double is a 6 year old Persian cat and he is the center of mine and my fiancés universe. In the beginning of September last year we noticed Double stopped eating his food and the very next day of no eating we took him to the vet.

The vet started a round of cortisone because an ultrasound showed he had an inflamed stomach and his treatment lasted for 6 weeks. After the treatment he started eating again and we thought that he was cured but three weeks later he stopped eating again.

Then in December his stool started to always have mucus in. This has been going on and off for the last 5 months and the vet can’t seem to find whats wrong with him. Anytime he stops taking the cortisone he becomes lethargic and just sniffs his food but won’t eat anything.

I was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience with their cat being sick like this and if i could present the vet with new ideas to help/cure him. Seeing him so sick breaks my heart and I don’t want him on the cortisone for too long considering the longterm damage it could cause.

Thank you so much in advance for any advice or ideas. Im happy to answer any questions about info I might have left out of the post!
