A member asked:
I am a 53yo female with autoimmune disease, on a feeding tube (gastrectomy) and diagnosed with cll, yet i'm gaining weight?

Possible: If you are not active and are fed more calories than you need, you will gain weight. If you are on steroid, it will do the same. Also need to know if you have low thyroid function as well since thyroid involvement is very common among people with autoimmune disorders
