A member asked:
If a person looses a lot of weight due acute stress and anxiety , does this mean body is not absorbing what they eat,or its burning it too fast?thanks

Maybe either or X: Have a good physical exam. The problem could be separate from the stress. If there's nothing else - it could be either/or both. Something's off and finding it along w/ a plan to correct it will be good for you.
