What Causes Weight Gain, Tiredness And Hard Stools?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... Hi, I have had a massive weight gain ( 3 stone in 3 months) incresing tiredness, to where I can fall asleep at the wheel or play sport, headaches all day every day, pale around the eyes. And to the worst one is a pain in my lower bowels mainly towards the left side which is a constant and worse when I eat. Stools are either rock hard ( in which they cut and make me bleed) or diarrea? Can you give mr some advice please. Matt
