Alright I am 17 years old and I have been
abnormally skinny for my entire life. My
arms are sticks and my waist is nothing.
No matter what I do I cannot gain weight.
I have always been a hefty eater. I eat
more in a day than just about anyone I
know. No matter how much I eat however, my
body decides to expose of it within about
half an hour. When I was born I was almost
11 pounds which is aparently very
unheathy. I have been tested for diabetes
and the test was negetive. If I go one day
without eating allot I can literally lose
(and I have weighed myself) over 7 pounds
in a day. My mother always just said I
have a high metabolism but thi is
abnormal. I do not know another male
within my 6 year age range that is as
skinny as I am, and the ones I do know are
heroin addicts. Any insight would mean the
world to me.

i'm just wondering..
when you say your body "exposes" of it
within half an hour..
do you mean like throwing it up?...
or like disposing of it...other ways..

were they just family MD's or were they
specialists?
i suggest finding a specialist with
digestion.. and seeing him..
b/c family MDs are most likely just going
to pass it off....b/c they don't
specialize in it...
was it your height/weight?..
just to have an idea
