What Causes Sudden Weight Loss?
I have lost about 10 lbs in the past few weeks. While i am happy about that, i am surprised because i have not changed anything. I have not had many normal bowel movements during this time, but rather lose, runny stool with a lot of water. just wondering what might be going on. thank you vonnie

Hi, a sudden weight loss may be due to Diabetes, your loose motions, increased thyroid activity, or rarely cancer. Do not ignore this symptom as normal unless other conditions besides loose motions are ruled out--regards
