Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am 26 years old and have 103.62 Ibs weight. I masturbate once a week. I want a suggestion to gain weight. Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Firstly, you should have your thyroid profile done in order to rule out it as a cause. And next thing, you should have supplements to build your muscles and body. You should have Whey protein supplements (provided by optimum nutrition) a scoop a day for 6 to 8 weeks. I guess you do not have any digestive problems like indigestion in the form of bloating abdominal pain, frequent diarrhea or loose stools.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

I got bloating and indigestion. What to do? When I use heavy eating like some chicken or milk, it does not digest properly and causes bloating and acidity. What should I do?

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Does it also occur on normal eating or just heavy eating? You should have Aristozyme (Diastase and Pepsin) one capsule after such a heavy meal which will assist your digestion.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

When I drink milk, it almost occurs. So, I left milk and non-veg.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

So, likely cause for low weight is digestive issues. Firstly, as I mentioned above, you get your thyroid test done and you increase your overall food intake. You have capsule or syrup Aristozyme after meals which will help in digestion and absorption of food and assist in weight gain. Also, you should do some exercise program like gym which will build your muscles and will help in weight gain.

You should avoid fatty, oily and spicy diet. Have some walk after having food instead of taking rest. Have multiple small meals instead of heavy meals. Have regular sleep habits and avoid stress. Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits. Avoid smoking and alcohol, if any. You can get prescribed tablet Pan DSR (Pantoprazole and Domperidone) 40 mg or Esomeprazole Domperidone combination before breakfast once a day for two weeks.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

I will do as you have said.
