How To Prevent The Sudden Weight Gain?

Sudden weight gain. Have permanent illeostomy and tried to gain weight for yrs after chemo radiation (with 1st cancer onset) and 5 years later when cancer returned. Now in the last 3 months the pounds keep adding up. I am eating less than ever with no reduction in lbs. Have lymphedema and episodes of fluid retention and difficulty urinating. I feel very bloated a and even have foamy output from stormy.

Hello
You need to have your stoma examined by the surgeon who created it. The increase in weight can be a side effect of your chemotherapy medication leading to some hormonal imbalance. These symptoms may lead to a diagnosis of decrease in the activity of the thyroid gland. Kindly show an endocrinologist to rule out the thyroid disorder.
