What Causes Rapid Weight Gain Along With Abdominal Bloating And Constipation?

our 24 year old daughter has been gaining weight rapidly over the last 6 months. 13lbs in 3 weeks. She has had constipation and belly bloat, has been diagnosed with mild depression, and high blood pressure. she had blood work done today and her thyroid and blood work came back normal. Is there other tests to diagnose hypothyroidism because she seems to have a lot of the symptoms.

Hi...

Welcome to healthcare magic.

As you mentioned you have problem of abdominal bloting problem and constipation with weight gain that may be because of hypothyroidism or other reasons.
Do a thyroid function test for further diagnosis.
Consult a physician for diagnosis.
Detail history and investigation helpful for diagnosis..
Other reasons like lack of gastric motility or intestinal obstruction may lead to constipation problem.
Start a treatment as per reason behind it..

I hope this will help.
