Hi. I am a 21 year old female and have been struggling to gain weight. I have a 17 month old baby. I immediately lost the baby weight/fat within 2-3 weeks. I have been losing weight ever since. Right now I weigh 75pounds and my height is 5'1. I barely have an appetite and I am barely eating. I am a very picky eater. I have tried Ensure, Pediasure, and Boost drinks but nothing is working. Also, I am Lactose Intolerant. I was wondering if there is any prescription medicine or a over-the-counter medicine that I can take to Gain Weight.

Hello, Keishla! How are you?

You need to see your doctor for assistance. If you are down to being that tiny, there may be some other health issue going on that's causing it.

And when you're losing weight like that, it really is time to stop being so picky about your food. It's not cool or something to be proud of, you're just hurting yourself and, if you keep it up, you could end up leaving your child without a mother.

So please, see your doctor and get this checked out.

Are there any other questions or concerns?
