Unable to gain weight, losing it instead

2024-12-09 19:53:04
I have been losing weight consistently without any changes in lifestyle or diet. I weighed 54-55kg last year, now I weigh 49kg. Lost around 5kg in a year. I believe I also increased food and calorie intake from last six months with no improvement in my weight. I got full body comprehensive check up done, reports came back almost normal with just vitamin B12 deficiency. One remark in CBP was "Predominantly normocytic normochromic with ovalocytes." Medical history - One persistent issue is upset stomach whenever I eat anything from restaurants. I have also been having gut issues last few years like bloating and excessive burping after meals.

I’m sorry to hear about your ongoing health concerns. Unintentional weight loss can be worrying, especially when you’re trying to increase your calorie intake. Here are a few potential factors and steps you might consider: Vitamin B12 Deficiency: This can lead to symptoms like fatigue, weakness, and weight loss. Ensuring you address this deficiency with supplements or dietary changes is important1. Gut Issues: Your symptoms of bloating, burping, and upset stomach could indicate conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), or food intolerances. These conditions can affect nutrient absorption and lead to weight loss2. Normocytic Normochromic Anemia with Ovalocytes: This finding in your complete blood picture (CBP) suggests a type of anemia that could be related to chronic disease, nutritional deficiencies, or other underlying conditions3. Diet and Caloric Intake: Despite increasing your food intake, if your body isn’t absorbing nutrients properly due to gut issues, it could explain the lack of weight gain4. Here are some steps you might consider: Consult with me and I can help diagnose and treat any underlying gut issues. Tests like a hydrogen breath test for SIBO or an endoscopy might be recommended. Nutritional Support: Working with a dietitian can help ensure you’re getting the right nutrients and calories. They can also suggest foods that are easier on your digestive system. Follow-Up on Anemia: Further investigation into the cause of your anemia might be necessary. This could involve additional blood tests or other diagnostic procedures. It’s great that you’ve already taken steps to get a comprehensive check-up. Continuing to work closely with healthcare providers will be key in addressing these issues. How are you feeling about these next steps? Do you have any other questions or concerns?
