Cant gain weight

Cant gain weight

Im not bulimic, no aneroxic , my body just cant gain weight. I am 23, male, 5 ' 10'' and currently weigh 114... down 10 pounds from about 1-2 months ago. I eat decently. The main problem is anything that enters my stomach, it doesnt seem to like it... Like its hypersensitive to any food. bad stomach cramps, nausea, loose bowels...sometimes when i go to the bathroom, half the food isnt digested yet..like my stomach wants it out of my body before it gets the proteins and nutrients it needs...

This has been going on for a while. One thing that helped was being on Percocet for a while for back and neck pain. It actually helped my stomach as well. It slowed down the mobility and gave me an appetite. Thats another thing, its not that I dont want to eat, but its that i fear eating because of the bad stomach, digestion, bathroom issues..it *****..

any help would be great.

Have you talked to your doctor about this?
Also, have you tried posting in one of the expert forums?

I agree with pink, and am not sure why you'd wait this long before going to the doctor. You can't afford to lose that much wait and your symptoms sound like they make you miserable. It is possible you have a stomach problem that can be easily treated and you should go ahead and do that ASAP.
