I use to weigh 128 now I weigh 178 and its because as I became older (43) metabolism slows down and I started eating more and doing less.  I also developed a sweet tooth and a way of rewarding myself with food.  I actually feel like I am addicted to sugar and I know its unhealthy.  I guess what I'm saying is: is it your diet?

Hopefully you seen a doctor by now.. have you changed your eating habits? or had your gallbladder checked? Thyroids could be a problem also.

Hi Lisa, it could be an overgrowth of yeast, get tested for candida.  Good Luck Kaya
