Malabsorption syndrome should be ruled out initially.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Malabsorption syndrome and parasitic infestation should be ruled out initially. You can do a stool routine test for this. If it is positive then it should be treated with antibiotics.
At least yearly once Deworming should be done by taking antihelminthics like albendazole. Albendazole 400 can be taken as single dose for this.
Don't miss your meals. Take a balanced diet with high quality proteins. You can include tubers like potatoes, dried fruits , nuts like almond , cashew etc in daily diet. You can also take eggs , meat ,chicken , milk and milk products.
Better to avoid steroid containing weight gaining products as it can cause adverse effects like fluid retention and hypertension. You can take mass gainers with out steroids. Do weight gaining exercises. You can do body building exercises twice weekly in 3 day intervals. This will help you mass gain.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
