Weight Gain

Recommended Posts

Hi,

Im a bit confused with my weight at the moment. Ive seen a dietician and they suggested to help me gain say a 1lb a month I need to increase something each day. They said it would be easier for me to gain weight through fluids than actually eating more. Now for over two weeks now Ive been drinking say a large glass of soya milk per day, very slowly Ive gained just under a 1lb, yeah I know its not much when you think of the grand scheme of things, but that is the highest Ive been in about a year. Now the confusing part, on the scales it says Ive gained some weight, but Im pretty sure that physically eg my stomach, arms, legs etc Ive lost weight eg fat and muscle. Now how does that work. I don't do much exercise and only work a small amount each week, so Im not very active. Is it possible to gain weight on the scales, but lose weight physically. Ive got another week to wait for my blood test results, which a gut feeling tells me will come back negative. Im also waiting for some blood test results on my iron levels. My hair loss just wont ease. Very frustrating.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.
