I have found another reason for excessive weight loss.....
Ulcerative Colitis. I have had Ulcerative Colitis for 17 years
but was not diagnosed until 2006. Back in 2006 I HAD lost
60 pounds due to mental health issues alone.
But the past three months I have been extremely
CONSTIPATED instead of having the diarrhea. This was
totally the opposite of the symptoms I was previously
experiencing due to the Ulcerative Colitis ! Due to the
constipation (?) I had a loss of appetite. I lost 20 pounds
during the first 7 weeks that I started to have the constipation.
Two of my doctors don't seem concerned about this
weight loss because I am obese and they see it as a good thing.
I know I am better off with the 20 pounds off of my body,
but if a person is going to lose weight it should be done in
a healthy way and that is not how I am losing the weight.
My clothes fit really loose on me now, but I cannot afford
to buy new clothes right now. I am glad about the 20 pound
weight loss, but I was not even TRYING to lose weight.
Well, that is all I have to say about weight loss for now.
Thanks for listening.
