General & Family Physician 's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

If your bowel movements are loose then you may need assessment for chronic diarrhea.

If there are not a problem and there are no other reasons for poor weight gain then increasing your calorie intake should be enough.
This means increasing your frequency of meals and portion sizes should help with weight gain.

I hope this helps
