A member asked:

Which type of food and drugs can i take to add weight or for my body to develop? am a gastritis and acid reflux patient?

Dr. Tso Chen answered

Tough question: I presume that you are taking medicine for your acid reflux and gastritis. For the body to properly develop weight, it needs to have balanced diet with focus on the 3 major macronutrients - protein, carbohydrate, and fat. Ask your primary care doctor to refer you to a dietician.
