Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Taking balanced and proteinaceous foods along with body mass increasing exercises will be helpful for increasing weight. But initially you should rule out malabsorption syndromes and parasitic infections. You can go for a stool routine examination for this. Deworming should be done with antihelminthic drugs like albendazole. You can take milk and milk products, meat, fish etc. You can use whey protein. Diarrhoea could be due to malabsorption syndrome. If you clear that with antibiotic therapy you will be fine. You can take amway protein also.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

To determine if weight is appropriate for height, you can use an online calculator to determine your BMI (body mass index).

If it is low , the you should continue with your efforts to gain weight.

Protein supplements and powders can be used to gain weight so you can try the supplement, provided it does not contain any ingredients that you are allergic to.

In addition to the use of protein supplements, you may also need to try to increasing portion sizes, frequency of meals and the calorie value of meals by adding dressings/condiments etc

I hope this helps
