Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My son is a senior in hight school - turning 18 next month and a highly competitive athlete. He is a D-1 scholarship baseball player . Today he is 175 pounds and has been trying like crazy to gain weight during his baseball off season with no luck. He wants to start taking Creatine - but I m scared - any advice?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The only way to put on weight is to get more calories than what he looses. He should know how many calories does he looses and try to have a positive balance.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mirjeta Guni
