Weight gain is easy!: Weight gain is easy, as a healthy/meaningful gain in lean body mass as goal--but u can't pick where it goes! don't take products for quick results that sacrifice your future quality of life.

Diet and muscle mass: To gain weight you have to consume more calories than you are burning. Do this in a healthy way though. Don't choose junk or fast food. Keep a well balanced diet and make sure you are getting all the nutrients you need. Don't cut out exercise as it is very good for you. Weight lifting and other muscle building exercises can help you increase your body mass.

Accepted Answer

Irritable bowel: In some people, after an episode of an intestinal infection, an irritable gastrointestinal tract develops. You're experiencing an overactive gastrocolic reflex meaning that as soon as food enters your stomach, intestinal contractions become very active moving food along causing urgent loose movements. Taking an antispasmodic medication like dicyclomine 1/2 hour before a meal slows the reflex

Question 8

lung cancer or lymphoma? i'm 22 nonsmoker,play soccer ,lift weights. recently i have developed a shortness of breath & pain after a bout w/ typhoid.

Accepted Answer

Probably neither: I would be extremely surprised if this was lung cancer and moderately surprised if it was Hodgkin's. It's a little early for you to be assigning yourself something deadly. My first concern in your case is a viral myocarditis. Get seen.
