Got see your doctor: You didn't mention your height but you should calculate your body mass index (http://nhlbisupport.Com/bmi/) to determine if appropriate weight or not. Then go see your doctor for testing to be sure thyroid function is normal (not overactive). In extreme cases, might consider checking for gluten sensitivity or even parasite infections. Chat w/nutritionist to be sure you're eating enough healthy foo.

See below: If you are otherwise healthy, being skinny is not a disorder and you may be better off letting it be. You will gain weight as you grow older and then you will look back at this time with fondness when you could eat and not gain weight. Exercise regularly and eat a balanced diet.
