Digestive problems
Hello Doctor,
I am 21 years old, male, around 48 kg. I have been skinny all my life.
I have low digestion, poor appetite, lactose intolerance, and difficulty gaining weight even when eating properly.
I live in a college hostel and mostly eat mess food.
I want advice on improving digestion and healthy weight/muscle gain.
Please let me know if I need any tests, digestive enzymes, probiotics, or dietary changes.
