How To Put On Weight?

Hello Doctors I have a small frame girl who is trying to gain weight and I have a high metabolism. I don t eat a lot of food during the day. I will like to know what vitamins can I take to increase my appetite? I also tried weight gainer shakes but it didn t work maybe because I didn t eat enough meals with it. Please help with my weight gain I don t want to be skinny girl no more.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi. I suggest that you might be suffering from either anorexia or have a thyroid issue. You can get tested for thyroid problems, namely T3, T4 and TSH levels. In hyperthyroidism, we have lack of weight gain. On the other hand there may be an iron deficiency. So, I suggest that you take iron supplements. Thanks. Dr. Neel Kudchadkar
