Answers:
I was 5'4" and weighed 98 lbs as a senior in High School!. So yes it is normal!. I hated that people thought I was too skinny so I would force myself to eat!. And now at 35 I weigh 175!. Now I am too big!. Cant please everyone!. Anyways, If your sister sees a doctor regularly then mention it to him!. She may have an ulcer or just anxiety over something!. She is young, it could also just be her body is a changing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm not saying that she has this for sure or that she has it at all!. But if you can get your parents can have tested for Chron's disease!. It is a silent disease and the symptoms are not that obvious!. And it can get worse or it may not do no more than what it's doing now!. It can be treated with meds and kept under control with meds!. I found out I had it back in 2003!. It started out as a simple stomach and as the month progress the aches only came when I would eat food!. But the aches would go away as soon as I have BM!. It did for so long that I stop eating big meals and just snacked on foods that didn't upset my stomach!. It's a disease of the large intestines and it's usually inherited from a family member!. Sometimes there were days I would go back and forth to the bathroom every 5 mins, until there was nothing left to empty!. But my body would go through the motions anyways!. It's sound nasty, now that I know what it is!. I'm okay now!. Or she just may high metabolism where her body can't kept up with the calories it burns!. I hope this helps!. If you can keep me posted!.
You can see an example of what this disease can do in an episode of Private Pratice!. They young lady begged Addison for help!. Because her mom was trying to say it was all in her head and that she was trying to strave herself and the baby she was pregant with!. She was losing weight and couldn't kept it on due to the disease!. Look for the episode on the ABC web site!. I know it's a TV show, but it explains what the disease is and does!. And why its hard to detect!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Unless she is showing signs of real illness, she may just be in a normal stage!. Keep an eye on her!. If she gets sicker and it hangs on for a while, it should be checked out, as things like diabetes are best if caught earlier rather than later!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

She sounds a lil bit small, but who said that there's something wrong with this!? Some peeps are just more slender than others!. If she's eating enough, even if it takes her all day to do this, then it doesn't sound like a big concern :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
