A member asked:
Is there any way to regain body weight/mass if there is any parasite in the gut/system or malabsorption?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You will need to rid the body of the parasites or remedy the cause of the malabsorption first. Of course, if you enough to compensate for the malabsorption, you will likely gain weight as well even though this would not be a preferred solution.
