Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rokaab" data-source="post: 2494727" data-attributes="member: 450212">As a completely wild wild stab in the dark have you been tested for any intolerances or anything?I only asked because when I was between 25 and 30 I was unintentionally slowly losing weight with no obvious reason, it was a  slow weight loss but I was always hungry and eating about 3 times as much as anyone else, my parents were getting worried because I was starting to look thinner and thinner everytime they saw me (about every 6 months due to distance) - I was quite underweight at one point despite eating really quite a lotAs it turned out I had coeliac disease (gluten intolerance) and the only real noticeable side effect I had was quite a lot of farting (and well I'd always been quite farty) - it did not make me feel ill, and eating gluten was in effect causing malnutrition in me cos I think it meant I wasn't absorbing most of the nutrients I was eating (thanks immune system - coeliac disease was a great 30th birthday present ... not!!!)As I said its a complete shot in the dark, may be a long way off the mark, I was not testing for ketones at the time so don't know if they were present</blockquote>
