Cannot gain weight.Had all checkups done
I'm 31yrs old and have been underweight for whole my life. I tried everything but could not put on weight. When I was born doctor told that I have infection in my small intestine and it will automatically be cured as I grow old. I always had stomach issues since childhood, earlier it was loose motions and now it is indigestion from many years. I cannot eat a lot and have to go for stool within 2-3 hrs of having food. I don't feel hungry in the morning but a lot in the evening but can't eat much.
