Why do I have so much of a problem gaining weight?!


Question:

Why do I have so much of a problem gaining weight?

What could be all the possible reasons why a person might have a tough time gaining weight? I cannot say that I am a very good eater, but at the same time, its not like I eat absolutely nothing. Its just that my looks and weight, don't jibe with the way I eat.

My weight has never been really that consistent with the way I eat, and I always did feel like something didn't make sense. Just assumed I was being too analytical, and figured things would get better. But things haven't and am I at a point where I do feel like this is something that needs to be addressed.

I have always been underweight, short, anemic, tired and skinny. I also remember having frequent bouts of diarrhoea when I was growing up. I remember having like at least one episode of diarrhoea per year, especially since I was 13 years old... And also remember skipping school, or having horrible days when not in school...

Cris Tee, Gluten intolerance/celiac sprue is something that I have already considered and have actually ruled it out over the past year... But, really really appreciate you telling me about it...


Answers:

You could suffer from hyperthyroidism. Your doctor can screen a blood sample for it., as well as other possible conditions. You really should talk to your doctor about this.
