A member asked:
I have always been small...i was weighting about 140...and lost weight all of a sudden not trying..in my legs and butt...

Why underweight?: There are lots of reasons for being underweight, &these should be ruled out by medical evaluation. Assuming your work-up identifies no maldigestion, malabsorption, inflammatory disease, chronic infection, metabolic abnormalities, CA, or non-GI systemic disease then weight gain is a simple matter of taking in more calories than you burn. Supplement with fortified milk shakes/ commercial products.
