Have you mentioned this to the vet? Ruling out inadequate intake of food, which I'm sure isn't the case! it needs to be considered within the context of his digestive problems. Sometimes this can point to pancreatic problems even where owing to decreased enzyme production food essentially remains undigested. Not saying he has this but just emphasising the importance of informing the vet. My own cat had a similar ravenous appetite owing to intestinal inflammaton/pancreatitis which interfered with absorbtion of nutrients, which cleared once the underlying problems were addressed.
