Why os it that i'm so skinny (1,75m and 52kg) and can't gain weight ? done tests (tyroide and general blood tests) and all normal, who can help me ?

Hmmm: Difficulty gaining weight or maintaining weight could be due to many things.overactive thyroid could do it. Malabsorption of nutrients could be an issue especially in someone with GI symptoms like gas and bloating. Consider an evaluation for celiac disease. That can be brought up to your doctor. One can also count the day to day caloric intake to see if it is related to under-eating.
