What Causes Early Satiety And Weight Gain?
Question: Feel full with only a couple bites of food, i am unemployed also so i dont eat as much and i dont loose no weight. I beleive a couple of my meds contributed to my weight gain
Brief Answer:
medications can cause weight gain
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
There are many causes for weight gain and that feeling of getting full early. If you are not eating many calories during the day and still gaining weight then it is important to see a doctor soon.
Medications can cause weight gain but so can other conditions like low thyroid. You need a physical exam and some blood tests to find the cause of your weight gain.
As far as feeling full after only a few bites, this is often caused by a problem in your stomach. There may be an ulcer or some sort of blockage causing the problem. The best way to sort that out is for your doctor to refer you to a gastroenterologist that can look into your stomach with a scope and see what is going on and if there is a blockage.
The best thing for you to do first is to see a doctor and get an exam and blood tests done. Then they can take the first steps in figuring out what is causing your problems.
