[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP- I lost 35-40 pounds shortly. I maybe needed to lose TEN. I got down to 105. I wasn’t adsorbing ANY vitamins or nutrients.

I’m on monthly vitamin infusions, at the hematology department in our local, massive hospital system. I do not have cancer. I have an absorption problem. I’m eating like my teen boys, they have well rounded diets. I’m back to 120 which is a good weight for my height (5’5”) and build (small bones). But if I don’t keep up I drop weight quickly.

Thank you! This give me hope.

Did your GI doc refer you to hematology and they diagnosed you? What kind of tests did you get to confirm diagnosis?[/quote]

I’ve seen a GI, neurologist, hematologist, had CT scans, MRI, tons of blood work, had an appendectomy, colonoscopy, endoscopy, monthly infusions, plus daily vitamin protocols, and on and on. The bloodwork showed my vitamin deficiencies and the other tests ruled out anything additional. I also have thyroid disease (and have since I was 17) anemia (again have had this off and on for decades) RA, immunocompromised gut, and on and on again.[/quote]

Thyroid disease? Graves? That causes very fast weight loss.[/quote]
