I am 33 years old, I plan to get married
in the next months to a nice swedish
guy.
But, how can I marry when I look ill.
I have ibs, I am not sure..How to treat
it.
My mother has crohns disease, I think I
inherited the weak bowel through her.
I was also informed, I have pernicious
anemia.(meaning my body cannot or won't
absorb vitamin b complex vitamins.
I am very underweight, I weigh around 98
lbs now.
Whenever, I get my period( I really feel
nausea, during periods) or the slightest
sickness, my weight plummets.
My best weight is 110 lbs.
I have to struggle to achieve that.
I don't even know, why I am able to gain
weight at certain periods in my life and
not at others.
When, I am heavier I look really great.
Now I look frail.
Everyone tells me, I should gain weight.
I can't.. I am even taking protein
shakes, nothing is working...
How do I gain weight, when my body isn't
obviously absorbing the food nutrients??
Anyone, with similar issues.

The only advice I can give would, if you
smoke.......Quit!!
I was diagnosed with ibs while I was in
the navy and my father has
chrones/cholitis and the thing about that
dieses is that you cannot inherit it. It
does not get passed through the genes.
When I quit smoking 3 years ago, I never
ever have had another problem with my
stomach again. I am a 5' 10" guy and I
weighed about 140 while I smoked because I
was contantly sick to my stomach and had
chronic diareha. Not any longer though.
I was able to conquer that problem.
Also take imodium to help in emergencies.

Hi Posted: 05-08-05 21:20pm
I never have smoked in my entire life.
I don't drink alcohol either really, only
during special events.
My problem has nothing to do with my
lifestyle.
