Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, it appears that you are thin due to the genetic factor. If both of your parents are thin, there are fair chances of your being thin.
Ofcourse you can try to become fatty, result depends upon the luck.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such condition, enzymes, iron, and protein supplements.Take more of flushy fruits like guava, and banana.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods.
wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
