I Have Ibs And I Can't Gain Weight....help Me Posted: 05-08-05 07:30am
I am 33 years old, I plan to get married
in the next months.
But, how can I marry when I look ill.
I have ibs, I am not sure..How to treat
it.
My mother has crohns disease, I think I
inherited the weak bowel through her.
I was also informed, I have pernicious
anemia.(meaning my body can't or won't
absorb vitamin b complex vitamins.
I am very underweight, I weigh around 98
lbs now.
Whenever, I get my period( I really feel
nausea, during periods) or the slightest
sickness, my weight plummets.
My best weight is 110 lbs.
I have to struggle to achieve that.
I don't even know, why I am able to gain
weight at certain periods in my life and
not at others.
When, I am heavier I look really great.
Now I look frail.
Everyone tells me, I should gain weight.
I can't.. I am even taking protein
shakes, nothing is working...
How do I gain weight, when my body isn't
obviously absorbing the food nutrients??
Anyone, with similar issues.
:p

Hey you know most people would love to be
in the situation of being too skinny!!
But yes health is more important...
If ibs is really making you that ill,
maybe your doctor could help somehow.
They might have some medicine or food that
could help.
Congratulations on your wedding! :d :)
good luck and take care!
