Hey guys,
I could really use some help, for the past 4 months I've been putting on weight and I truly don't know where it is coming from. I was diagnosed with peptic ulcers at 17 and as a result was put on a very strict diet. I've stuck to that diet for 9 years now because even if I have a bite of cake or pizza I'll have the worst pains and usually end up in the ER.
I stick to a very bland but healthy diet, lots of fresh fruits and veggies, nothing fried, and everything that is low to non fat. I don't really go by the scale but by my jean size that is either a size 0 or size 2. Lately I had to start buying jeans that are a size 4 because my 2's no longer fit. I tried even lowering my calorie intake, doing more excerise and it seems like I'll lose 4-5lbs one day only to wake up the next and be heavier again. I've seriously weighed 110lbs one day and woke up weighing 118lbs the next!! I drink a lot of water during the day and I even started taking the water pills thinking that this might be water weight and nothing seems to help.
The weight started coming on over the summer and the only possible thing I can think of is I developed terrible allergies to my fur babies so I started taking claritin. I asked my doctor if claritin could be making me gain weight like that and she says no. I had my thyroid checked and that was fine too.
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
